To mark the 25th anniversary of Slovenia’s independence a photography exhibition entitled "I Feel Slovenia. I Feel 25."  will be held from 24 June to 8 July 2016 on Am Hof square, one of the most prestigious squares in the first district of Vienna. 

Would you like to feel Slovenia in Vienna? Would you like to feel right at home? A series of photographs shows what Slovenia really is – a boutique, green, and active country, one that is focused on sustainable development. Handpicked photographs, taken by renowned Slovenian photographers tell its story. This exhibition depicts Slovenia’s rich natural, cultural and social heritage, well-known and less known spectacular places hidden in its diverse landscape, and the various activities of its people. 

Did you know that Slovenia is truly exceptional? The world's oldest wooden wheel was discovered in Slovenia, the country has one of the highest levels of biodiversity, the largest underground canyon in the world, the biggest intermittent lake in Europe, and the largest proportion of national territory included in the Natura 2000 Network; it is situated at the crossroads of different languages, and is one of the richest European countries in terms of water resources per capita, etc. The photographs capture images of Slovenia's nature, cultural heritage, architectural gems, and the life of its people. 

After Vienna, the exhibition will go on a tour to Helsinki, Tallinn, and Riga.

The exhibition has been organised by the Government Communication Office of the Republic of Slovenia in cooperation with the Slovenian Culture and Information Centre, Vienna (SKICA), the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Vienna, the Slovenian Tourist Board and Slovenia Press Photo.
