Hidden story

The fountain that came inside

Robba's fountain moved from the square into the gallery.

Read the storyClose

For 250 years Francesco Robba's fountain stood in front of Ljubljana's town hall. The marble suffered from weather and pollution, so in 2008 it was moved into the gallery's new glass hall after restoration; a copy now stands in the square. Look at the river gods closely: you can see how fine the carving is up close.
