Academic painter and set designer Milan Butina designed the sets (and sometimes also the costumes) for more than ninety productions of Slovenian professional theatres between 1951 and 1973. He worked most frequently at the Ljubljana City Theatre.
In July 2018, the Slovenian Theatre Institute received a gift of 30 stage sketches and a stage model from the estate of Milan Butina. They were donated by Darja Butina, the artist's daughter.
