The City Museum of Ljubljana hires out its palace atrium, a conference hall and a classroom for receptions, conferences and seminars. The atrium takes up to 200 guests standing or 80 at a seated banquet, and the projection hall seats 81 with simultaneous interpretation equipment. The museum sits in the Auersperg Palace at Gosposka ulica 15, in the center of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Seminars and company events
The projection hall is on the ground floor of the palace. It has 81 chairs with writing tablets, and up to 30 additional seats can be added. The museum describes it as suited to medium-sized lectures, round tables, press conferences, symposia and presentations. Equipment includes a loudspeaker system, a projector and screen, a DVD player, a portable computer, an overhead projector, a slide projector and simultaneous interpretation equipment, which makes the hall usable for international meetings.
The hall opens onto the museum cafe and the atrium. A group can therefore move from a session to a coffee break and then to a reception without leaving the ground floor. A guided tour of the palace halls and the collections can be offered to guests as part of the day.
The same institute also lets Cukrarna, a gallery at Poljanski nasip 40. Its conference room takes 50 to 70 guests for lectures, conferences and presentations.
Weddings and receptions
The venue hire page lists protocol receptions, concerts, fashion shows, thematic presentations and special events. It does not mention weddings. A private party can be discussed with the museum team, and the pedagogic classroom is described as suitable for smaller celebrations.
Rooms and capacities
The atrium with its courtyard is the main reception space. It has arcade corridors, glazed galleries, stone columns and vaults, and the courtyard is open to the sky. It accepts standing receptions for up to 200 and seated banquets for up to 80. On summer evenings the courtyard can serve as an outdoor auditorium, and it connects to the cafe.
The projection hall seats 81, as described above. The pedagogic classroom is a ground-floor room for workshops, courses and small celebrations. It has a projector, a screen, a CD player and a portable computer. The site gives no capacity for it.
At Cukrarna, the lobby is a naturally lit open space for up to 500 standing guests, 220 seated guests or 150 at a banquet.
Catering
The atrium and courtyard are linked to the museum cafe. The venue hire page does not describe a catering menu or the caterers allowed, so ask the museum how food and drink are arranged for your format.
