About Jakopič Gallery
The Jakopič Gallery, on Slovenska cesta, hosts exhibitions of contemporary art and design by Slovenian and international artists, each running for about two months with a programme of events. It stands by the site of the forum of Roman Emona, the rectangular central square of the ancient town. Our advice: pair it with the Emona sites on Mirje and the City Museum.
