An exhibition of nearly two hundred
photos of artworks from the National Gallery of Slovenia' s collection will
take place from 4 August to 4 November 2018 along the Jakopič Promenade in
Tivoli Park. The exhibition is organized in cooperation with the Tourism
Ljubljana on the occasion of the100th anniversary of the National Gallery of Slovenia. The centenary of a cultural institution is a
landmark deserving special attention.
On the 18th of September, 1918, the National Gallery
Society was founded – having neither collection or exhibition space nor
financial assets, but furnished with a lot of zeal. The palace of Narodni Dom
became its home in 1925, and since 1933 an extensive permanent art collection
has been exhibited in it. Thirteen years later the Gallery became a state institution
and a home for all of us.
Displayed along the Jakopič Promenade in Tivoli Park
are details of works of art from the Gallery’s permanent collection which was
considerably expanded after the renovation of the palace of Narodni Dom in
2016. To recognize them as creations of our artists means to belong to the
Slovenian community, to participate in its happy and less happy days with that
creative willpower that brought into existence the National Gallery of
Slovenia. Come and celebrate with us!
Celebrations, marking the 100th anniversary of the
National Gallery of Slovenia, are under the honorary patronage of His
Excellency Mr Borut Pahor, President of the Republic of Slovenia
