He was born into a family of artists in Gjakova in 1934. Muslim Mulliqi was one of the first and most important impressionist and expressionist painters of Kosovo and Albania. The building where the gallery is currently situated was once the seat of the museum of the 1941–1945 war. The Kosova National Art Gallery's facade was made from stone from the area of Pejë, which made it stand out. Thousands of artists have exhibited their works, which were visited by hundreds of thousands of art lovers. They were affirmed and evaluated highly because of their unique approach to the arts considering the circumstances in which they were created, making them distinguished and original.ĭuring the ten after-war years, the Kosovo Art Gallery organized more than 200 collective and individual exhibitions from national as well as international artists. Until 1990, Kosovar artists presented their art in many prestigious worldwide renowned centers. Unfortunately, during the Kosovo War, many studios were burned down and many artworks were destroyed or lost. Because of the regime then, many artists were unable to display their art in art galleries, and so were always on the lookout for alternatives, and even resorted to taking matters into their own hands. Kosovar art was unknown to the international public for a very long time. Nearly 500 of them are active these days in the fields of painting, sculpture, graphic and applicative arts. The Gallery was established as a necessity for the visual presentation of Kosovar culture, as the only art institutions before it were the Art High School in Pejë in 1949, the Higher Pedagogical School in Pristina, and the Academy of Arts, founded in 1973, from which more than 1000 artists have graduated.

It is named after one of the most prominent Kosovar artists, Muslim Mulliqi. The Kosova National Art Gallery was established in 1979 as a cultural institution to present visual arts, and to preserve and collect valuable works of art.

In 1995 it was officially adapted into what is now The Kosova National Art Gallery.In the years 1982–1983 it was adapted into an exhibition hall by the architect Agush Beqiri, for the Revolutionary Museum of the time.In the years 1955–1981 it operated as a library.The Kosova National Art Gallery was built approximately in 1935 as a military barrack of the Yugoslavian Army, made of stone bricks.4.2 Gjon Milli Prize Photography Exhibition.
