20th Century / Continuities and Ruptures, a permanent display of the selected works from the Moderna galerija collection, 2011

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.

All information about the background and the current activities of the two locations are available in the articles about individual museums.
