Discover the exciting story of the Austro-Hungarian naval officer Ivan Skušek Jr., who returned to Ljubljana with his family from captivity almost 100 years ago.

As part of the Open Day programme at the Slovenian Ethnographic Museum, you are invited to a guided tour of the exhibition Asia in the Heart of Ljubljana: The Life of the Skušek Collection.

Ivan Skušek brought home a rich collection of Asian objects with the idea of establishing a museum of Asian cultures, which he failed to achieve. Since 1963, the collection has been preserved by the Slovenian Ethnographic Museum and is now open to the public.
