The villa in Rožna Dolina, together with its landscaped garden, is dedicated to a permanent museum presentation of bourgeois life and vibrant cultural events. The City Museum of Ljubljana preserves the remarkable legacy of Ljubljana’s former mayor; in this way, his distinctive persona lives on and can be experienced by visitors as part of the permanent exhibition.

In addition to outlining the phenomenon of the bourgeoisie, the exhibition is a homage to Ivan Hribar (1851–1941; mayor 1896–1910), his life and work, as well as to his daughter Dr. Zlatica, who faithfully preserved her father’s legacy and recorded her memories of him and of the family’s life.
Ivan Hribar is presented as a multifaceted figure of the period spanning the mid-19th to the mid-20th century. He was a politician, diplomat, banker, publicist, translator, and businessman. The preserved museum objects speak to both his private and public life. His living and working environment is presented, along with many of his personal belongings.
Around 700 museum objects are displayed in reconstructed living spaces within the villa – the library, kitchen, reception room, dining room, “white” bedroom, guest room, servants’ room, and more.
