In 2015 the [[Ministry of Culture]] purchased the [[Factor Bank Art Collection]]. See the archival article about the collection below.

== Archival article ==

At the end of the 1990s Factor Bank asked [[Tomaž Brejc]], an eminent art historian and professor at the [[Academy of Fine Arts and Design]], to begin selecting high-quality contemporary Slovene art works for its corporate collection. He subsequently decided to collect paintings and a number of works by media artists. 

The [[Factor Bank Art Collection]] includes the 289 works, among them also a pastel by an Impressionist painter [[Rihard Jakopič]] and works by contemporary artists [[Emerik Bernard]], [[Tugo Šušnik]], [[Sergej Kapus]], [[Milan Erič]], [[Metka Krašovec]], [[Bojan Gorenc]], [[Andraž Šalamun]], [[Marko Jakše]], [[Bogdan Borčić]], a sculptor [[Jakov Brdar]]), and many others. It has been presented at various galleries (eg the [[National Gallery of Slovenia]]).
