New exhibition - Slovenian majolika

We have prepared another interesting exhibition for you entitled Slovenian majolica. With the joint project of the National Museum of Slovenia and the Intermunicipal Museum Kamnik, we want to give Kamnik majolica the right place in Slovenia and Europe, and on the other hand encourage artists not to forget this part of intangible cultural heritage – knowledge, behavior, skills of making and painting majolica. Because majolica has a special status in both the Kamnik and Slovenian traditions. It has become, so to speak, a mythological object, closely connected with the identity of the Slovene nation. As a symbol of good and happy company, it is sung by folk songs.

The exhibition will be on view in the Kamnik Museum until May 2022, so you will also be able to see it live. We are also preparing an interesting accompanying program. Due to the current situation, also online and social networks. The project was led by dr. Mateja Kos and mag. Zora Torkar. The exhibition is the work of the authors dr. Mateja Kos, Saša Bučan, Marko Kumra and co-workers mag. Andrej Dular, Tomislav Kajfež, Irena Radej, Boris Radjenović, Saša Rudolf and dr. Zore Žbontar. As always, Tomaž Lauko took care of the beautiful photos. Ariana Furlan Prijon and Barbara Bogataj Kokalj took care of the very special design of the exhibition as well as the accompanying publications in Slovene and English. Thanks to everyone that in this situation, the whole project could be carried out.

And an invitation from the authors of the exhibition:
