This Merry Day of Culture represents a traditional annual cultural manifestation, with which we commemorate the birth of one of the most famous Slovenian poets – France Prešern. On 3 December cultural institutions invite visitors to free tours of plays, exhibitions and concerts, lectures, guided tours, workshops and various other cultural events.

This year we are also joining the project at the Center of Jewish Cultural Heritage. Between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., we invite visitors to the Open Doors Day, during which it will be possible to visit the former medieval synagogue in Maribor and the art exhibition Cvetka Hojnik En Sof – Infinity.

Cvetka Hojnik’s exhibition can also be viewed during a guided tour at 11 a.m., when visitors will be introduced to the artist and her latest painting opus. In it, the author interestingly intertwines personal and Jewish symbolism, originating from the Kabbalistic tradition.

The project This Merry Day of Culture takes place under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia.
