As part of this year's Summer Museum Night, we invite you to a guided tour of the exhibition Spekter. 70 Years of the UGM Collection at 19:00, led by Meta Gabršek Prosenc, curator, art historian, art critic and long-time director of the UGM | Maribor Art Gallery.
In the year marking our 70th anniversary, the UGM | Maribor Art Gallery invites you to come see the new hanging of our collection. The new temporary display was created by the designer David Tavčar, who over the past year combed through the museum’s collection to select over 270 works of art featured in the exhibition, some iconic, some lesser known and others shown to the public for the very first time, and arranged them across seven rooms and two halls into a singular, vibrant experience.
Since its establishment in 1954, the UGM | Maribor Art Gallery had been synonymous with the palace at Strossmayerjeva ulica, a great house, however not spacious enough to simultaneously accommodate both a permanent hanging of the collection and large temporary exhibitions. For a number of years, we have tackled this challenge by setting up temporary exhibitions of the UGM Collection in ever new constellations of works and in varying manners of display, so as to offer a new perspective on our collection and the history of 20th-century art in the city, region, and Slovenia.
