Acquisitions
Enlarging or developing the collection is one of the basic activities of every museum.
The collection of the Gallery of Matica Srpska is enriched from year to year with different art objects which represent a significant national artistic and cultural heritage.
The Gallery’s acquisition strategy is based on reaching the following aims: to enrich the collection with representative artworks and study material, to fill all separate collections evenly in chronological terms and by types of materials, and, at the same time, in the spirit of Matica Srpska and the Gallery of Matica Srpska, to receive individual gifts and bequests and finally, to select gift collections of authors important for contemporary art production.
The Acquisition Commission, which meets several times a year, consists of experts – curators and conservators of the Gallery of Matica Srpska, decides on the artworks that will be purchased.
