THE EVENT IS FREE OF CHARGE. NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

During Art Weekend Ljubljana, GalerijaGallery will organise the Magical Misery Tour - a guided tour of selected Ljubljana gallery exhibitions, guided by an organised bus service. The project aims to offer users a special, urban experience of the city and the art that is being created in the local space today.

In addition to short guided tours of the exhibitions, the journey is often spiced up with various events on the bus, on the way between the selected locations and with unexpected artistic interventions in the urban fabric of the city. The journey usually starts or ends with a banquet and a gathering with music. The event is entirely free of charge.

The project involves a number of small galleries, artists, studios and NGOs in the field of culture or visual arts - they represent the most vital part of contemporary art production in Slovenia, and they need both actual and symbolic support and intensive promotion among the citizens of Ljubljana ... Magical Misery Tour events are organised for the sixth year within the Šiška Gallery Quarter and with the support of the City of Ljubljana - Department of Culture.
