| + | The [[Moderna galerija (MG)|Moderna galerija]] in Ljubljana has been the Slovene national institution for modern and contemporary art since [[established::1948]]. In November 2011 when the renovations of its new space in the new cultural quarter at Metelkova were finished, the institution split into two venues and got the longer name and an abbreviated form MG+MSUM standing for [[Moderna galerija / Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana plus Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova|''Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana plus Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova'']]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Museum of Modern Art continues its activities in the recently renovated space alongside Tivoli Park, focusing on the art of the 20th-century modernism and contemporary works disseminating modernistic ideas. Along with temporary exhibitions and projects MG presents ''20th Century / Continuities and Ruptures'', the permanent collection of Slovene 20th-century art. Its auditorium hosts various public presentations, symposia, conferences, and workshops organised either by Moderna galerija or other producers. | ||
