Up to 2011 the Moderna galerija (MG), established in 1948 in Ljubljana, has been the central national institution for modern and contemporary art. Since November 2011 the national institution consists of two venues - Moderna galerija (MG) and the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (MSUM) that opened in a new space in the cultural quarter at Metelkova. The Moderna galerija / Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana plus Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova has also an abbreviated form MG+MSUM standing for Moderna galerija plus Muzej sodobne umetnosti.


International cooperation

Apart from the international character of its programme and collections, Moderna galerija and its staff also participate in joint projects and platforms. For the period 2010–2013 Zdenka Badovinac was elected president of the CIMAM – International Committee of ICOM for Museums and Collections of Modern Art.

In 2009 Moderna galerija co-founded L'Internationale, a trans-institutional organisation of five European museums and artists' archives (Július Koller Society from Bratislava, MACBA from Barcelona, VAM from Eindhoven, and M HKA from Antwerpen) with the aim to "to challenge common canons and dominant narratives of art history." In the same year Moderna galerija also joined the Digitizing Ideas: Archives of Conceptual Art Practice, an EU project led by the Museum of Contemporary Arts Zagreb.

Since the inception of the Radical Education Collective in 2006, Bojana Piškur, a curator from Moderna galerija, coorganises or participates in events dedicated to learning knowledge "on the social and political responsibility of the researchers by experiencing it through the process of political self-emancipation".

As a partner in the EU project Gravity – Art, Religion, Science (2003–2005) Moderna galerija realised an innovative bilingual online archive Towards Zero Gravity. Gravity in Slovene Fine Art in the 20th and 21st Centuries conceived by Igor Zabel and facilitated by the Modern Art Archive.
