The National Gallery of Slovenia (Narodna galerija) is the main art museum in Slovenia that holds the country's largest fine art collection from the late medieval period up to the early twentieth century. It was founded as early as 1918 as the National Gallery Society with the aim of establishing a museum for Slovenian fine arts. First housed in the Kresija Palace, the Gallery relocated to the Narodni dom palace in 1926.

A completely reorganised and expanded permanent exhibition of the collections returned to public view in January 2016, following an extensive renovation of the Narodni dom palace.

With its collection of more than 3,000 art works by Slovene artists from the end of the 19th century up to the present, the Maribor Art Gallery (Umetnostna galerija Maribor (UGM)) is one of the main museums for modern and contemporary art in Slovenia. Painting, sculpture, and prints are joined by photographs, video art, multimedia installations, and interactive art projects. UGM serves as a regional museum of modern and contemporary art in the area of the Municipality of Maribor, its founder, as well as in the greater area of north-eastern Slovenia. The museum also runs the UGM Studio and manages the Forma Viva Open Air Sculpture Collection in the City Park. The researchers can benefit from its rich Library and Archive. In 2015 UGM has been in charge of the Slovenian pavilion featuring JAŠA at the Venice Biennial.
