Review:
The Museum of Modern Art is one half of the state-owned Moderna Galerija. It was established by decree in 1947 and opened the following year. The establishment of the museum was made possible by substantial funding from industrialist, Dragotin Hribar. It is housed in a building, designed in the 1930s by Edvard Ravnikar. Until Slovenian independence in 1991, the museum focused on Slovenian modern art. Thereafter, the brief expanded to include international artists of the era. The museum is one of the venues for the International Biennial for Graphic Arts. By 2011, the museum had run out of space so the Museum for Contemporary Art was established. The combined museums are known as MG+MSUM.
