Summer Museum Night

On 21st June, so on the first summer day all the museums and some galleries in Slovenia are opened until midnight. So was also this year. There are free guided tours around the exhibitions and several workshops for children and adults. I decided to visit some of them.
I visited Slovenian National Museum where young people were showing the way of life that was lived in the medieval times. I suppose guys and gals demonstrating were lots cleaner than people who really lived in Ljubljana in that period of time. :) I have learned how to make a rope and some basics in fighting with a sword! I hope I will never have to use any of those techniques...
I joined a guided tour in the City Museum of Ljubljana after that. 'Ghosts' of the exhibition showed us some interesting exhibits in the museum and we walked around a city center. I managed to see the ashes of burnt Emona houses (Ljubljana was called Emona in the Roman times) and I learned where Primož Trubar lived. Really, it is so interesting to get to know the history of a place where you live.Leaving ghosts strolling through the streets of Ljubljana, I went to see an exhibition on Pharaohs of Egypt. Some of the exhibits are very precious because they tell a lot about the history of Pharaohs. I found out that I am still lots more interested in Maya and Aztec culture.
It was almost midnight when I slowly went home. Probably those ghosts went to sleep at that hour as well.
