The Museum of Contemporary Arts gallery will be reconstructed using Culture Ministry funds, enabling the display of valuable works that are currently kept in museum depots.

Minister Kanceska-Milevska paid a visit to the museum on Wednesday, saying the reconstruction would begin in May and be completed by the year-end. In parallel, the artworks in the depot would be conserved and exhibited as part of the permanent display in the first half of 2013.

"The depot has a significant collection of over 5,000 works from different art categories. It is significant that the Republic of Macedonia has a permanent display available to the public", she stressed.
