Prešeren Awards are the highest national awards in the field of arts, selected and granted by the national Prešeren Foundation and bestowed since 1947. They are named after Slovenia's greatest poet France Prešeren (1800–1849) who lived the last of his years in Kranj. The initiative for the Prešeren Award Recipients art collection dates back in the year 2000 and is, in fact, situated across the memorial Prešeren House.
The Prešeren Award has played a significant role in the representation of the national culture. This unique collection of some 140 fine arts works by 80 recipients of this prominent award in the last six decades therefore reveals also a permanent bond between culture and politics. The works in the collection have been either donated by the artists, bought by the Municipality of Kranj or on loan from the Gorenjska Museum.
