MUO Gallery Attracts Nearly 6,000 Visitors in Its First Year

The MUO Gallery in Zagreb is celebrating its first year of operation, having welcomed almost 6,000 visitors to its exhibition space located at Ilica 163a. This new venue was established to maintain the museum's presence in the city while its main building undergoes renovation.

Over the past year, the gallery successfully hosted 13 diverse exhibitions that explored art, design, and society. These included "Museum in Miniature," "Pavao Urban's Mediterraneanism," "The Art of Posters," "Art Nouveau and the Art of Comics," and the internationally recognized "Architecture without Borders." The gallery also featured exhibitions like "Land of Light, Land of Happiness" by Snježana Pokos Vujec, "All Faces of MUO," the popular "Egon Schiele UNSEEN," and "The Female Body: Roles, Expectations, Resistance."

Čestitam svim svojim kolegama u Muzeju, svim kustosima i djelatnicima koji su svojim predanim radom, stručnošću i energijom doprinijeli razvoju i uspješnoj realizaciji programa MUO Galerije.

Beyond exhibitions, the MUO Gallery organized more than 80 supplementary events, such as guided tours, lectures, workshops, panel discussions, and artist talks. Sanjin Mihelić, the Director of MUO, highlighted the gallery's success in creating a dynamic and open space that encourages active public participation. He noted the growing interest and the gallery's recognition as a hub of contemporary museum energy in Zagreb.

Mihelić extended congratulations to his colleagues for their dedication and expertise in developing the gallery's programs. He also thanked the City of Zagreb for providing the space, which has been crucial for the continuity of the museum's activities during the renovation of its main building. Admission to all MUO Gallery programs remained free throughout the year, underscoring its commitment to making culture accessible to a broad audience.
