The first issue was published in 1964 Documents of the Slovenian Theater Museum, which - after the MGL Library - is the second oldest theater book collection in Slovenia. The Documents were born from the desire to present and interpret historical material about the theater. They have been with us for many decades and fulfill their original mission in different ways. Anniversaries are an opportunity to look back on the journey and celebrate a little, because the oldest collection of the Slovenian Theater Museum/Institute is still alive and in good condition.
To date, more than eighty volumes or one hundred and five numbers have been published. More than one hundred and fifty authors - among them some of the most prominent Slovenian artists, publicists and researchers - have created fundamental material for theater history with their contributions, articles or monographs, supplemented by works published in other collections of the Slovenian Theater Museum.
On the anniversary, we remember the editors, writers and other collaborators, and we wish they would Documents of the Slovenian Theater Institute, as the collection has been called for the past ten years, have also in the future brought us in-depth analyzes of our past and contemporary theater creation.
The exhibition will be on view until May 28, 2024.
