Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Koroška

The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Koroška was founded in 1957. This museum of modern and contemporary art focuses on collecting and studying visual art from the second half of the 20th century onwards. The gallery's exhibition spaces are located in Slovenj Gradec and Ravne na Koroškem, where the Ravne Gallery was established in 2012. KGLU developed a diverse andragogic and pedagogical program and is especially well known for Berneker's creative work-shops. The KGLU collection comprises around 3000 pieces of art. It consists of works by many foreign and domestic authors and special larger sets of collections. An important place among them is held by the collection of works by Jože Tisnikar, which is completed by the Hommage to Tisnikar collection. The latter combines the works of Slovenian and foreign authors whose creative expression was similar to Tisnikar's. The gallery also houses collections of works by Franc Berneker, Bogdan Borčič, Valentin Oman, Štefan Planinc and Pino Poggi.
