Background
The City Art Gallery Ljubljana is the ancestor of the old building of the Jakopič Pavilion (the first Ljubljana exhibition space built in 1908 by the painter Rihard Jakopič). After it was demolished in 1961, the house at Mestni trg 5 was chosen for the new venue for exhibition activities and their management. In November 1962, the Jakopič Pavilion was renamed as Mestna galerija Ljubljana. In 1990 and 1991, the Municipality of Ljubljana financed a thorough renovation of the building. In addition to modernised exhibition rooms and offices in the converted loft, the gallery now also features a café on the ground floor.
In 1996 the City Art Gallery Ljubljana opened another premise, Mestna galerija 2, to feature its permanent collection. The venue was closed in 2010. Since 2009 the City Art Gallery Ljubljana forms part of the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana public institute as one of several autonomous units specialised or connected to contemporary art and culture.
