This exhibition, showing at the National Museum of Slovenia's department located in the Metelkova Museum Quarter, presents medieval chivalry as it really was, challenging the common conception of knights as noble-minded medieval warriors.

New findings by Slovenian experts in the field reveal a picture of Slovenia's medieval past that is rather different from that presented in history classes and old history books.

Bringing together a wide variety of different objects from museums in Slovenia and abroad, the exhibition offers an objective yet exciting look at different aspects of chivalry in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period.
