On this occasion, we will also put on display a unique facsimile of the statute from 1941, but we will especially focus on the articles in the statute that touch the bakers and Bakers ' Guild, as this is followed by a short walk through the exhibition "bakeries and bakeries through time" (location historical archive in Ptuj, Vicava 5).

Image from the exhibition: translation of the article of the statute "when bakers bake too small bread, let the judge and those set up for this confiscate this bread and send it to the poor to the hospital" (Article 91), which provides an insight into the medieval legal mentality, and the image created on the basis of the translation of the article of the statute shows how the article is interpreted in graphic form by artificial intelligence.
