Material culture and its interpretation through myths and narratives
Dear!
On Friday, 28. 8. 2026, at 18. uri invites you to the City Museum of Krsko and the gallery of Krsko for the opening of the inter-museum exhibition heritage and the power of myths: material culture and its interpretation through myths and narratives. The exhibition will be on display at the Krsko Gallery until 10. in October 2026.
Welcome!
In antiquity, people used myths to explain the emergence of the world and natural phenomena. They used stories about gods and heroes to explain relationships in society, build and preserve values and beliefs. As once, myths are still considered today an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artistic creation.
Who are Zeus, Actaion, Ganymede, Aphrodite, what feelings awaken in us? We will try to find answers at the inter-museum exhibition. A group of authors, consisting of experts from nine Slovenian museums and two faculties and one individual, selected museum objects and stories that carry a rich message and interpreted them through myths. At the exhibition, among other things, we will learn about the mythical landscape of the Mislinja Valley, see a lead statue of the Goddess Victoria and a bronze Aphrodite by the sculptor Vladimir Shtovicki.

Materialna kultura in njena interpretacija skozi mite in pripovedi
Spoštovani!
V petek, 28. 8. 2026, ob 18. uri vas vabimo v Mestni muzej Krško in Galerijo Krško na odprtje medmuzejske razstave Dediščina in moč mitov: Materialna kultura in njena interpretacija skozi mite in pripovedi. Razstava bo na ogled v Galeriji Krško do 10. oktobra 2026.
Dobrodošli!
Ljudje so si v antiki z miti razlagali nastanek sveta in naravne pojave. Z zgodbami o bogovih in junakih so pojasnjevali razmerja v družbi, gradili in ohranjali vrednote ter prepričanja. Tako kot nekoč veljajo miti še danes za neusahljiv vir navdiha umetniškega ustvarjanja.
Kdo so Zevs, Aktajon, Ganimed, Afrodita, kakšne občutke budijo v nas? Odgovore bomo poskušali poiskati na medmuzejski razstavi. Skupina avtorjev, v kateri so strokovnjaki iz devetih slovenskih muzejev in z dveh fakultet ter en posameznik, je po svoji presoji izbrala muzejske predmete in zgodbe, ki v sebi nosijo bogato sporočilnost, in jih interpretirala skozi mite. Na razstavi bomo med drugim spoznali mitično pokrajino Mislinjske doline, videli svinčeni kipec boginje Viktorije in bronasto Afrodito kiparja Vladimirja Štovička.
