Plans for the construction of a new museum of modern art were completed in 1939 by Edvard Ravnikar. This was to be the first major work by this architect, who later became the central figure of Slovene architecture. His well thought-out design for an institution which was to function both as a museum and as an exhibition hall shows the strong influence of Jože Plečnik and functionalist architecture of the period (it was during this time that Ravnikar worked in Le Corbusier's studio for a spell). The building was completed after the Second World War and the museum was officially inaugurated in 1948. The Museum of Modern Art of Ljubljana as the Slovene national museum of modern and contemporary art, systematically studies, collects and presents Slovene art production of the 20th century. It organizes retrospectives of key Slovene artists as well as exhibitions of contemporary Slovene and foreign artists. With lectures, projections, public guided tours and workshops, the Museum of Modern Art also has an important educational function.

The Centre, established in 1986, is housed in Tivoli Castle, in the park of the same name, near the city centre. The castle was built in the 17th century as a pleasure palace and substantially altered over the years. The interior of the building has been remodelled, to provide up-to-date exhibition space, offices, storage space and printmaking studios. The International Centre of Graphic Arts is an institution devoted to the promotion and printing of the graphic arts.Its fundamental activity is organising the International Biennial of Graphic Arts that boasts the longest tradition of this kind in the world. In June 2001 it will organise its 24th setting. In addition, the Centre holds exhibitions of the modern and contemporary art (mainly prints, drawings) in Tivoli Gallery, maintains a permanent collection of domestic and international graphic arts, runs a print studio on the ground floor where Slovenian and foreign artists can produce works in all graphic techniques, and publishes art catalogues, monographs, posters, postcards, etc. In collaboration with individuals and institutions the Centre also organises various cultural events and manifestations.

RTV SLOVENIA
RTV Slovenia will be the fifth venue of Manifesta 3.
The role of television in visual art is basically the one of the best possible intermediator of the exhibited works. Manifesta 3 will present its artists on television, show their portraits and broadcast their projects, primarily the ones on video. This way television will communicate art directly, it will become a sort of a virtual gallery available in the home of every viewer.
