The Museum of Modern Art (Slovene: Moderna galerija) in Ljubljana, Slovenia, is the central museum and gallery of the Slovenian art works from the 20th and 21st centuries.[1]
History
Established by decree of the government of the People's Republic of Slovenia on 30 December 1947, and officially opened to the public on 3 January 1948, it houses a permanent collection of 21st century Slovenian art as well as art from foreign artists.[2] Its central building was designed by Edvard Ravnikar and was built in 1948. In addition, it acts as a place for: debate, documentation, education, research and study, increasing the presence of art for the wider public.[3] The museum seeks to build a divergent model of museum, open the dialogue between institutes following similar priorities and those which are building new cultural production models.[4]
On 26 November 2011, it was expanded with the Metelkova Museum of Contemporary Art, situated at Metelko Street (Slovene: Metelkova ulica).
