{{Teaser|

Established in [[established::2007]] in the space of the former City Museum of Ljubljana Cultural and Information Centre and managed by the [[Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana]], the [[Match Gallery]] (Galerija Vžigalica) is a venue for exhibitions, round-table discussions, lectures, and presentations predominantly reflecting the current art production.

Its activities are conceived in collaboration with contemporary artists, art institutions and producers &ndash; mostly Slovenian, but also international.

==Exhibitions and events==
The gallery has featured the latest works of Slovene artists of the younger generation such as [[Manja Vadla]], [[Sašo Vrabič]], [[Urša Vidic]], [[Meta Grgurevič]], [[Saša Spačal]], [[Veli & Amos]], and [[Boštjan Čadež]]. In recent years, many exhibitions by international artists have been produced as well, including solo exhibitions by Sinta Werner, Siniša Labrović, Brad Downey, and Ali Bramwell.

In 2017, the gallery launched a new cycle "Ljubljana Bows to Slovenia", which features artists from various Slovenian cities as well as cities with a large percentage of Slovenian population. So far, artists from Celje, Trieste and Kočevje have been presented within this exhibition cycle. 

===Collaborations and co-productions===
In the past, the Match Gallery has more frequently hosted exhibitions by other producers. Those included, for example, exhibitions by [[SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts]], the exhibition ''re.act.feminism, Performative Art of the 60s and 70s'' by the [[City of Women Association for Promotion of Women in Culture]] and the resounding exhibition ''The World Without Us: Narratives on the age of non-human actors'' curated by Inke Arns and produced by HMKV (Hartware MedienKunstVerein) (DE) and [[Aksioma Institute]] in co-production with [[Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana]] and Drugo more (Rijeka, HR). It still annually hosts the [[Lighting Guerrilla Festival]] by [[Strip Core]].

Since 2016, the Match Gallery is one of the main venues of the [[Indigo Festival]] organised by [[Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana]] and Marsh Creative Production.
