 ==Programme==
-A the UGM one can - besides major names of Slovene visual art in the last hundred years - follow influential developments of international art scene, get acquainted with the rising stars of modern art and explore current themes in visual arts. With its collection and programme of around 12 special exhibitions a year – ranging from retrospective reviews of works by Slovenian authors to international festivals of contemporary art as well as architecture and design exhibitions – UGM importantly shapes both the art scene in Slovenia and internationally.
 Significant international exhibitions included ''Continuity of Modernism, Fragments of Croatian Architecture from Modernity to 2010'' organised in collaboration with ''[[Oris Magazine]]'', and most recent ''Alptraum'' exhibition conceived by artist Marcus Sendlinger from Berlin who this time invited 17 artists from Slovenia to expand his collection of artists' visions of a nightmare.
 The ''RE:akt! Reconstruction, Re−enactment, Re−reporting'' exhibition curated by the Italian curator Domenico Quaranta, produced by [[Aksioma Institute]] and initially shown at the [[Škuc Gallery]] in Ljubljana, explored the re-enacting of the selected historical events as a means to confront current ideological and intellectual canons, power structures, policies, and distribution channels in contemporary arts.

-==Education==
-Well-structured education programme joins different generations, ethnic groups and educational institutions.
-Young professionals UGM is an intensive art school in the gallery, which includes young people from 10 to 15 years old. The program explores art in direct contact with artwork – live, in flesh, which has an invaluable educational background. They also create artistic artworks by themselves, test various materials and develop their own visual language. In doing so, they acquaint themselves with professions such as an artist, a curator, a photographer ... The program emphasizes getting to know contemporary art, which we observe and warn about it not being practiced or practiced too little in schoolwork.
 ==History==
-Maribor Art Gallery opened its door on 8th February, 1954. Maribor thus received the first professional institution engaged in museum and gallery activity in the field of modern art. The city once again became a relatively important focal point for artistic and cultural activities, originating in tradition of the Grohar Art Club, going back to the 1920's with its pioneering role in terms of organized artistic life in the city. By settling in the building on the corner of Strossmayerjeva and Orožnova Streets, UGM acquired about 800 m2 of exhibition space, which are completed with the representative Great and Pillar Halls. The central exhibition grounds are located in the former bourgeois palace from the first half of the 19th century and in the former church of a celestial monastery from the second half of the 18th century. After merging with the Rotovž Exhibition Hall in the 1980s, UGM acquired a department for contemporary art and additional presentation spaces in the city centre.
