Founded in 1974, the Božidar Jakac Art Museum is located in the building of the former Cistercian monastery near Kostanjevica by the Krka River , one of Slovenia's finest medieval monuments, which is situated in the picturesque landscape of south-eastern Slovenia. With its over 4,000 m² of exhibition surfaces, it is the largest gallery complex in Slovenia. Initially, the institution focused on presenting the artistic legacy of the Bela Krajina, Dolenjska and Posavje regions. Today, its scope covers also Slovenian expressionism and contemporary artistic production on the regional, national and international levels.

The exhibition "Finally Landing" traces the afterlife of objects as they move across emotional, economic, and symbolic borders. Unfolding within the domestic architecture of Medium Gallery: living room, dining room, entry hall, walk-in closet, and bedroom, the exhibition becomes a constellation of unstable carriers and fragmented narratives. The group exhibition features also Alt Trin Vajd . An accompanying program activates the works through performance, a workshop on digital desire and archiving, and a lecture on imagination as a form of ˝pre-memory˝.
