We are presenting our collections.
Ejti Štih (birth name Marija Štih, born 1957), daughter of Melita Vovk and Bojan Štih (1923–1986), a publicist and artistic director who is very well-established in cultural, especially theatrical circles, in 2020, donated her mother's legacy related to stage art to the Slovenian Theatre Institute - Theatre Museum.
Along with numerous scenography and costume design sketches, the central part of her legacy, she also handed over to us Melita Vovk's notebooks, clippings and notebooks, drafts of letters and applications, occasional drawings and notes...
The artist's legacy also includes sketches that we have named "Behind the Scenes and in the Hall" - Melita Vovk took up a pencil at every opportunity, even in the theater, and sketched the creators and the crew at work. Her drawings for the book fall into the field between book illustration and costume design. Youth on stage Draga Ahačič, which is intended for theater education and also includes practical advice for youth stages and excerpts from plays and dramatizations of fairy tales.
