The Memorial Room of Writer Ivan Cankar (1876–1918) is a reconstruction of his original room with objects dating from his lifetime and several of his personal belongings as well as some of Cankar's first prints and translations of his work. The modernist poet, writer and playwright Ivan Cankar lived in the inn on the top of the Rožnik hill in Ljubljana from 1910 to 1917. On the 30th anniversary of his death the location was renamed Cankarjev vrh (Cankar's Summit) and the City Museum of Ljubljana opened a public memorial room in the adjacent building (1948).
