A venue with history
In 1835, the Casino Association of Ljubljana opened a place of amusement above Tivoli Mansion. When Austrian Marshal Joseph Radetzky resided there, he had a Swiss-style house — the Schweizerhaus — built alongside it, which gave the place its name. Bienale In 1908 it was replaced by Tivoli Hotel, designed by architect Ciril Metod Koch, which became a famous meeting place for Ljubljana’s citizens, artists and bohemians. After the Second World War, Švicarija became the cradle of post-war Slovenian sculpture. Bienale Today it operates as a creative and residential centre under the International Centre of Graphic Arts, home to artists’ studios, residencies and a rich public programme. Mglc
