EDUCATION

One of the tasks of the Moderna galerija is to provide education about and popularize modern and contemporary art. The Museum's educational programs are conceived to encourage active participation in and a creative dialogue with art, rather than its static contemplation and aesthetic experiencing. Thus diverse explanatory materials are made available at exhibitions, there are guided tours and organized opportunities to meet and talk with artists and curators.

Cultural education for children and adolescents focuses on raising their awareness through art. The Museum works with kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and art institutes. For a decade and a half we have been systematically educating the youngest generation to become active Museum visitors with the Minimalists' Club workshops, designed to familiarize children with modernist and contemporary artworks in inventive, interdisciplinary, and interactive ways. In addition to programs relating to exhibitions, Moderna galerija is also involved in a great variety of other educational projects organized in association with other institutions, initiatives, and individuals and carried out elsewhere, which encourage critical discourse on contemporary art in the broader social and political space.
