Museum of Puppetry

Museum of Puppetry at Ljubljana Castle, 2015

Opened in 2015, the Museum of Puppetry is a joint project of the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre and the Ljubljanski grad Public Institute, supported by the Municipality of Ljubljana. The permanent exhibition Images of Slovenian Puppetry Art, 1910-1990 displays the numerous forms, contexts and techniques of puppet shows, featuring both children's plays as well as experimental theatre performances.

The establishment of the museum presents a pioneering work for Slovenian puppet arts, as the material history of Slovenian puppetry has never before been systematically researched, not to mention restored and exhibited. With this in mind, one of the primary objectives of the museum is to create the conditions for the proper care and long-term preservation of Slovenian puppetry culture heritage.

Slovenian Theatre Institute

The Slovenian Theatre Institute (SLOGI) was founded in 2014 as the successor to the National Theatre Museum of Slovenia. The institute is engaged in collecting, preserving, documenting, researching, interpreting, presenting and promoting Slovenian theatre culture, performing arts heritage as well as contemporary theatre practices, both at the national and international level.

SLOGI organises exhibitions and presents virtual exhibitions, publishes books from the field of theatre, organises various events (symposia, round tables, lectures, etc.) and educational activities, houses theatre performances, etc. In November 2015, it launched the monthly Slovenian Theatre News.

The institute has participated in several international projects. In the period 2019–2023 a new EU supported project was launched: Classics in the Graphic Novel: A pilot model of new high school culture education through graphic novels coordinated by SLOGI, in collaboration with partners from Poland and Slovakia.

SLOGI is also a national coordinator for arts and cultural education in the field of theatre, nominated by the Ministry of Culture.
