Modelled after the famous Hlebine in Croatia, [[Trebnje Gallery of Naïve Artists]] is the only gallery in Slovenia which specialises in naïve art. It displays works from its permanent collection of Slovene naïve art, organises [[International Meeting of Naïve Artists|annual international meetings]], and promotes Slovene naïve art abroad. In 2004, at the World Exhibition of Naïve Art organised by UNESCO in Brno, the Trebnje Gallery of Naïve Artists received a special mention from the jury.
