The library has undertaken exchanges with 400 museum and university institutions world-wide and has participated in several international museum exhibition projects, incluing Bayern und Slowenien im Zeitalter des Barock ("Bavaria and Slovenia during the Baroque Period", 2004), an international collaborative project involving the Institute for Art History, the University in Munich and the Department of Art History, University of Ljubljana; and Theatrum vitae et mortis humanae (2000), an exhibition on Žiga Herberstein. In future it plans to participate in the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing (SHARP) project. In 2002 the Head of the Library took part in the Natural History Museum of London seminar "Sharing our Skill, Care and Display of Books, Manuscripts and Drawings". The library collaborates regularly with the Vienna Austrian Institute for South Eastern Europe and with the British Library. A number of its staff have been trained at the Natural History Museum in London.
The library functions today as a specialised library dealing with cultural affairs. The library has an official status as a public library and is open to local experts and foreign visitors, including a large number of students. For purposes of study, it is possible to view older material and printed matter of particular historical importance. Every month the librarians prepare an interesting show case exhibition called Vitrina Meseca [Show Case of the Month]. The library is a backbone for museology, art history and history researchers in the National Museum of Slovenia and also for the expert public from Slovenia and abroad. In addition to catalogues of periodic exhibitions, the museum also has several journals and serial publications for exchange: [[Argo Journal|Argo]], Situla, the series Catalogi et Monographiae [Catalogues and Monographs] and Viri, Sources for Slovenian Material Culture. The library also collects contemporary literature for study professionals on museum and history topics. New acquisitions are periodically changed every week and presented for public review in a secluded part of library.
Culture.si offers information on Slovene cultural producers, venues, festivals and support services, all in one place. It encourages international cultural exchange in the fields of arts, culture and heritage. The portal and its content is owned and funded by the Ministry of Culture, funded by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Plan and developed by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory.
