ECHO – NLB Contemporary Art Collection in a Dialogue

MUZA, Museum, Gallery and Academy, is opening with the exhibition 'Echo' presenting the NLB – Nova Ljubljanska Banka – contemporary art collection. The exhibition focuses on newly acquired works by contemporary artists from Southeast Europe. Their ideas, thoughts and representations expressed in works of art are proof of vibrancy, dynamism and lucidity of artistic production in this region. At the same time, the exhibition explores continuity. The new works are placed alongside those from the older Slovenian art collection from the 20^th and early 21^st century, imbued with historical and cultural significance, highlighting the impact and ability of art to sensitively capture even the most subtle changes in the society.
