National Museum of Contemporary History

The Cekin Mansion in the Tivoli Park of Ljubljana: headquarters of the National Museum of Contemporary History.

National Museum of Contemporary History (Slovene: Narodni muzej novejše zgodovine) is in a museum in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It is located in a mansion on the edge of Tivoli Park in the district of Šiška, traditionally known as the Cekin Mansion (Cekinov grad).

The mansion was built between the 1752 and 1755 under the command of Count Leopold Lamberg. During the last years of the French occupation of Ljubljana in 1812-1813, the mansion was used as a temporary residence of Eugène de Beauharnais, viceroy of Italy and commander of the Napoleonic armies in the Illyrian Provinces.

In the mid 19th century, the mansion was bought by the Slovenian partiot Peter Kozler who lived there until his death.

After World War II, the mansion was nationalized by the Communist authorities of Slovenia and transformed into the "Museum of the History of the Revolution". Since 1990, the museum has been dedicated to the heritage of 20th century Slovene history. It includes collections from World War I to World War II, to the Socialist period and the establishment of an independent state. The collection includes many historical items, including library materials and archives, fine art works and photographs.
