Venue
The gallery is situated in a renovated defence tower and three houses that are all connected forming the old city wall. The Kolar's house, the Gothic house and since February 2012 the memorial room of Riko Debenjak was opened in Fišč's house where many of Riko Debenjak's artworks, personal belongings, and archives are on display. The exhibition space is therefore very branched and consists of three floors measuring approximately 80 sq. metres each.
