Dear Lovers of Art,
Art know no boundaries and no obstacles. Within us, it can awaken thought, emotions, memories, and even give us hope.
That is why we at the National Gallery of Slovenia decided that for each day the live viewing of our Collection is not possible, a work of art will be presented here, on our website.
Let Art give us what our hearts need.
Clicking on the selected image will take you to a detailed description and an audio recording of that description.
