Moderna galerija, Ljubljana, was founded in 1948 as a museum of modern art. Up until the collapse of the former Yugoslavia, Moderna galerija systematically focused on collecting works by Slovenian artists. Also its exhibition policy was directed primarily at presenting Slovenian art production, with the most prominent exception being the International Biennial of Graphic Arts, beginning back in 1955. With Slovenia’s independence in 1991, Moderna galerija became the principal national institution of modern and contemporary art and an increasingly active link between the local and the international, in particular Central and Eastern European, contexts. One of the results of this orientation is the international collection Arteast 2000+, begun in 2000. During the past decade Moderna galerija has dedicated a great deal of its efforts to solving the problem of insufficient space, to restructuring its work, and to redefining its role of a museum in the present sociopolitical context. In 2011, it reorganized its activities into two large units, Moderna galerija (Museum of Modern Art, +MG) in the original building in Windischerjeva Street; and the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (Muzej sodobne umetnosti Metelkova, +MSUM) in the former army barracks complex in Metelkova Street. +MSUM, as one of the two units of Moderna galerija, is only apparently an antithesis of the Museum of Modern Art, drawing attention to what had been already present in the 20th century without falling within the orthodox modernist explanation. For this reason, too, the Museum of Modern Art is no longer quite the same as before; among other things, it now underscores this dialectical relationship between the modern and the contemporary.
