About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana, the Moderna galerija, follows a building begun in the autumn of nineteen thirty-nine to give Slovene modern art a home of its own. You will meet the art historian who pushed for it, the manufacturer's heirs who paid for it, and the young architect trained by both Plečnik and Le Corbusier. Stand facing the symmetrical front on Cankarjeva cesta to follow the story.
