Rog, Former bicycle factory and cultural center in Ljubljana, Slovenia
Rog is a former bicycle factory site that now serves as a cultural center with workshops for various crafts. It contains spaces for textile work, metalwork, glasswork, and other techniques where visitors can realize their own projects.
The site began as a tannery in 1871 and was converted to a bicycle factory in 1951. It operated as a factory until 2006, when artists took it over and developed it into an independent cultural space.
The space brings together artists, craftspeople, and students who work on projects and display their creations here. The workshops serve as a meeting point where local and international makers exchange ideas and collaborate.
Access to the workshops requires membership or a day pass, which offers different levels of entry. The spaces are generally open Monday through Friday and Saturdays, with varying hours depending on the area.
The site is notable for being used by artists for years without official permission before eventually gaining recognition. This history of artistic takeover gives the space a special identity within the European art scene.
