The art history collection encompasses numerous sculptures and paintings by masters of the 15th through to the 18th Centuries, as well as works by Leopold Layer (1752-1828) and his contemporaries, and the realists of the 19th Century. The collection of Slovenian Modern Art is extensive and includes works by Gorenjska artists and by the recipients of the Prešeren Award. The Gorenjska Museum actively collects artwork by artists from the Gorenjska region from different times. Most of this collection is kept in storage, while selections from it are sometimes exhibited at the periodical exhibitions. The overview of the artistic endeavours in Gorenjska is quite complete. The complete collection of works by sculptor Lojze Dolinar (1893-1970) is displayed in the Lojze Dolinar Gallery in the Kranj City Hall. The cabinet of Slovenian Photography also operates under theauspices of the museum. In this collection, practically all the most recognised Slovenian Photographers of the 20th Century are represented. We also organise periodic retrospectives and comprehensive group exhibitions.
