Among the musical works related to Triglav, a special place is held for the poem "Oh, Triglav, My Home" ({{lang|sl|Oj, Triglav, moj dom}}). It was written in 1894 by the priest and poet [[Matija Zemljič]] and quickly became very popular among Slovene mountaineers. In 2007, its first stanza, accompanied by a melody of Jakob Aljaž, became the official anthem of the [[Alpine Association of Slovenia]]. An instrumental version of the poem, written by [[Bojan Adamič]], is part of the start and end credits of the annual [[ski jumping]] broadcasts from [[Planica]]. In 2023, the Slovenian [[industrial music|industrial]] act [[Laibach]] released their rendition of the song, titled "O, Triglav, moj dom."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://imdb.com/title/tt27034800/ |title=Laibach featuring Severa Gjurin, Boris Benko & Tomi Meglic: O, Triglav, moj dom |website=[[IMDb]] }}</ref>

The first Slovene-language full-length film, recorded in 1931 by [[Janko Ravnik]], was titled ''[[In the Kingdom of the Goldhorn]]'' ({{lang|sl|V kraljestvu Zlatoroga}}) and features an ascent by a group of students to the top of Triglav. The second Slovene full-length film, recorded the following year, was titled ''[[The Slopes of Mount Triglav]]'' ({{lang|sl|Triglavske strmine}}). It was directed by [[Ferdo Delak]] and was a romantic story featuring a wedding on the top of Triglav.

Since 1968, Triglav has become a theme of avant-garde artists. The first instance was a manifestation by the art group [[OHO (art group)|OHO]], called ''Mount Triglav'', which took place in December 1968 at Ljubljana's [[Congress Square]]. In 2004, the group [[IRWIN]] produced a series of paintings named ''Like to Like/ Mount Triglav''. In 2007, an artistic performance was held atop Mount Triglav by the artists [[Janez Janša (director)]], [[Janez Janša (visual artist)]] and [[Janez Janša (performance artist)]] called ''Mount Triglav on Mount Triglav''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aksioma.org/sec/texts/eng_suvakovic.pdf  |title=3x Triglav: kontroverznosti in problemi okrog Triglava |trans-title=3x Triglav: Controversies and Problems Regarding Mount Triglav |first=Miško |last=Šuvaković |year=2007 |publisher=Axioma}}</ref>

The first to depict Triglav as the symbol of the Slovenes was the architect [[Jože Plečnik]], who in 1934 put it besides other coats-of-arms of the nations of the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]] on the coat of the statue of the Mother of God in front of the parish church in [[Bled]].<ref name=Otorepec />

During World War II, the stylised Triglav was the symbol of the [[Liberation Front of the Slovene Nation]] resistance movement.<ref name=Otorepec /> The distinctive three-pronged caps worn by [[Slovene Partisans]] during [[World War II in the Slovene Lands|World War II]] were known as ''[[triglavka]]s''.

A relief map of the mountain is the design on the national side of the Slovene [[Slovenian euro coins|50 eurocent coin]].

The former Slovene president [[Milan Kučan]] once proclaimed that it is a duty of every Slovenian person to climb Triglav at least once in their lifetime.
