550 Years of the Ljubljana Diocese

The Establishment of the Diocese of Ljubljana on 6 December 1461 was a turning point that 550 years ago marked the political, religious and cultural development of Ljubljana (its founding was confirmed by Pope Pius II on 6 September 1462). 

The National Gallery commemorates this important anniversary with the exhibition, which enriches our permanent collection of Slovenian art with an introduction of thirteen works of art from 15 century to the present day that represents events and people associated with the Diocese of Ljubljana and its history.
