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.

As the name already implies, the Night Window Display Gallery Pešak is a rather special gallery in that one doesn't actually enter it and that its exhibitions can only be seen at night, by way of a telescope that is set on a nearby tower, 20 metres away. The gallery is located on the first floor of one of the buildings at Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Centre, and is "open" till 1:00 AM.
Pešak is run by the KUD Mreža Arts and Culture Association and was established in 2014 as a part of its "Urban Arts Projects", a programme that has been upgrading and diversifying the urban fabric of Metelkova since 2003. Under the auspices of that same programme, the monocular (set on a steel-frame tower) was also created. The initiators and now also curators of the gallery are Damijan Kracina, Vladimir Leben, Terah, Mitja Ficko, Jaka Mihelič, Božo Rakočevič and Anabel Černohorski.
