Are you interested in how an object from the depths of the earth makes its way into a brightly lit museum display case?
The exhibition Fragments of Time takes you behind the scenes of contemporary archaeological research, revealing that archaeology today is no longer simply about searching for lost treasures. It is a high-tech, interdisciplinary and collaborative science that helps shape our shared cultural identity. Drawing on examples of archaeological investigations carried out in Ljubljana and its surroundings over the past twenty years, the exhibition traces the entire journey of archaeological heritage – from discovery and excavation to complex laboratory analyses, conservation, scientific findings, museum display and the long-term storage of extensive archaeological site archives. It also highlights the importance of protecting archaeological heritage and our shared responsibility to preserve it for future generations.

The ninth edition of the Ljubljana Bows to Slovenia series showcases the exhibition Made in GT22, which figuratively represents an attempt to establish a structural framework for decentralizing dialogue within the Slovenian art system. A selection of works from the archive of Maribor’s artistic community and educational laboratory GT22 is transformed within the Ljubljana gallery space into a new collective work, with the content and form of the exhibition concept intended to guide visitors toward a physical manifestation of bowing and paying homage.
