Iconotheque

Iconoteka is the most extensive museum collection of SLOGI - the Theater Museum - it consists of rich printed and pictorial material related to performances of Slovenian professional theaters and creators - theater lists, leaflets, stickers, posters, stage and costume sketches, models, recognitions, death masks, photographs and works of art…

Scenery and costume sketches have a special place in the collection Augusta Chernigoj, portraits Božidar Jakac, Nikolaj Pirnat and Mihe Maleš, renderings Ivan Vavpotič, theater posters Matjaž Vipotnik and photographic works Vlastje Simončič, Jenda Štovička and Tone Stojka.

Gifts and legacies of Slovenian stage artists significantly contribute to the wealth of the collection.

Virtual collections and E-exhibitions of the Iconoteka

The Slovenian Theater Institute has been preparing E-exhibitions since 2012. With e-exhibitions we cannot and do not want to replace "physical" exhibitions, but we want to use them to attract visitors who otherwise do not go to museums and galleries, to offer remote access to physically challenged and geographically remote users, to appeal to a younger audience and to enable an easier and time-limited access to researchers, in short, we want to make our collections as accessible as possible. Around 600 artefacts from the Iconotheque are also available in our online collections, which are constantly being updated.

Most of our E-exhibitions are also available in English, and the artifacts covered in them eventually become part of a global online collection Europeana.

E-exhibitions published on the central Slovenian theater web portal SiGledal.org or on the museum web portal Museums.si.
