2 Best Sights in Slovenia

The strikingly modern one-story structure was designed by Plečnik student Edvard Ravnikar (1907–93) in the 1930s and finally finished in 1948. It contains a selection of paintings, sculptures, and prints by Slovenian and Eastern European 20th-century artists. In odd-number years, it also hosts the International Biennial of Graphic Art, an exhibition of prints and installations by artists from around the world. The gallery also has a permanent collection devoted to 20th-century avant-garde and the art of the Partisan Resistance.

This massive building houses an extensive collection of Slovenian art from the 13th through the early 20th century and a smaller but impressive collection of European paintings. It also houses the original of Francesco Robba's Fountain of the Three Carniolan Rivers.
