-==History==
-The Coastal galleries of Piran were opened in 1976, two years after its foundation (1974). The leadership of the newly established public institute was taken over by ''Anton Biloslav'', who managed the galleries until the end of 2012. The operation of the galleries was initially very ambitious. With good strategy and bold moves, a network of important contacts with well-known art critics abroad was established, and relations with various prestigious private galleries in Europe (in Cologne, Paris, Zurich) were soon strengthened. All this enabled the presentation of numerous internationally renowned artists in the Coastal Galleries and elsewhere in Slovenia.
-In the 1980s, the Coastal Galleries, under the artistic direction of ''Andrej Medved'', placed Slovene and coastal fine arts in the then current art events and linked it to international events. Numerous exhibitions were important for the national space and for the professional placement of contemporary Slovenian fine arts on the European and international map.
