Cekin Mansion (Slovene: Cekinov grad, German: Leopoldsruhe) is a mansion on the northern edge of Tivoli Park in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It is located next to Tivoli Hall in the Šiška District. It houses the Museum of Contemporary History of Slovenia (Muzej novejše zgodovine Slovenije).
The mansion is named after Lőrincz (or Laurenz) Szőgyény (1741–1805), the husband of Ivana Lamberg, who was given the building. The name Szőgyény was Slovenized by the townspeople into Cekin.

Very good exhibition. Learnt a lot about Slovenian history, especially during WWII from this exhibition. Also loved the section which shows Slovenian history through the decades (the 70s toys & gadgets were very nostalgic!)

This museum used to be a museum with strong political impact. In the recent years it lost a bit of this historical patina, but influence of the past regime is still in the air. Museum is interesting and worth visiting particularly for foreigners interested in socialism. I like the car in front of the museum.
