In the first years of operation the Equrna Gallery, named after the Celtic goddess of the Ljubljanica River and the Ljubljana swampland (barje), prepared guest exhibitions in various venues such as the atrium of Ljubljana's town hall, City Art Gallery Ljubljana and in Hotel Slon. Since November 1984 it has had its own exhibition spaces in a renovated courtyard building at Gregorčičeva 3 in the centre of the city that was built in the early 18th century, and around 1809 was used also as stables for Napoleon’s army. The gallery space occupies a total area of 300 square metres, separated into two areas, both with arches and four-metre-high ceilings.
Programme and artists
The gallery offers monthly exhibitions mostly in the format of solo exhibitions, occasionally also group shows. Equrna presents the newest art works by mid-generation artists who defined Slovene art during the 1980s along with some output of younger artists.
