Heaters for Hot Feelings, Mirko Bratuša's sculpture exhibition at the 54th Venice Biennale, organised by Božidar Jakac Gallery, Kostanjevica na Krki, supported by the Ministry of Culture,
Božidar Jakac Gallery focused initially on the artistic legacy of local painter Jože Gorjup, works donated by Tone Kralj and graphic art by Božidar Jakac. Today its permanent collections also represent other Slovene artists of the 20th century, including France Kralj, France Gorše, Zoran Didek, Janez Boljka and Bogdan Borčić. In the upper part of the monastery's southern wing is an important collection of 44 oil paintings by French, Flemish, Italian and German old masters which were previously owned by the nearby Pleterje Charterhouse.
Kostanjevica Monastery itself houses a lapidary collection which comprises of medieval masonry fragments such as a keystone with stylised palmettes, a robust cup-shaped capital, a figural capital, a little fragment with a preserved mason's mark and a remnant of a Gothic painting on part of a vault's rib. Temporary exhibits presenting works by current Slovene and foreign artists are displayed in the monastery church (eg Nataša Prosenc, Silvan Omerzu, Uršula Berlot, Jože Slak, Roman Makše, Anda Klančič). Temporary exhibits are presented also in some adjoining rooms.
Božidar Jakac Gallery also houses a visual communications and visual design for electronic media collection belonging to the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana which consists primarily of work by Slovene graphic designers from the fields of poster design, trade marks and book illustration from the earliest times to the present day.
The Božidar Jakac Gallery has also two dislocated gallery spaces: Gorjup Gallery and Lamut's Art Salon in the town of Kostanjevica na Krki.
Božidar Jakac Gallery manages the Forma Viva Open Air Wood Sculpture Collection set in the former monastery park.
