Lonely Planet review

Housed in an ugly modern building (Edvard Ravnikar; 1939-51), the inwardly vibrant and inspiring Museum of Modern Art exhibits a permanent collection of 20th-century Slovenian art on two floors that helps put some of the socialist-inspired work of sculptors such as Jakob Savinšek ( Protest ) into artistic perspective.

Watch out for works by Tone Kralj ( Peasant Wedding ), the expressionist France Mihelič ( The Quintet ) and the surrealist Štefan Planinc ( Primeval World series). Some people might consider the works by multimedia group Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK; Suitcase for Spiritual Use: Baptism under Triglav ) and the artists' cooperative IRWIN ( Kapital ) 'fun' rather than 'serious' art.
