It is the main art museum in Slovenia, which was founded in 1918. At first the museum was located in the building of the Kresija Palace in Ljubljana, but then it was moved to the current location in 1925. The museum contains the largest collection of visual art, and the exhibition hosts a collection Enduring art from the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century. The original copy of the Ropa Baroque fountain can be seen in the building's central glass gallery, where it was moved after its extensive restoration in 2008.
