An exhibition is on display in the hall of the Slovenian Theatre Institute (1st floor) I worked for 40 years. From our collections: Servant Jernej – from Cankar to Skrbinšek and Delak.
We opened it on November 29, 2022, the day the Slovenian Theatre Museum (the predecessor of today's Slovenian Theatre Institute) was founded seventy years ago.
Dr. Bratko Kreft was already at that time, in 1952, in Speeches on the establishment of the Slovenian Theatre Museum envisioned the further development of the institution: "We are modestly starting our theatre museum, but the foundation stone has been laid. I am firmly convinced that a temple will one day grow from this stone, which will be a museum and an institute. Only then will we be able to say that we have done everything necessary for the development of national theatre art, in addition to generous material support, because the place of theatre art in every cultural nation is in one of the most beautiful domes of its spiritual temple. It was like this with the ancient Greeks, so why shouldn't it be the same with us?"
Welcome!
