Žalec Cultural Institute was opened in 1992 within the refurbished former home of opera and ballet composer Friderik Širca-Risto Savin (1858–1948), a Renaissance-style building dating from 1696. It incorporates the Friderik Širca-Risto Savin Memorial Room and the Dore Klemenčič-Maj Gallery. On the ground floor of the house the Savinov likovni salon, a receiving art gallery space, is located.


Friderik Širca-Risto Savin Collection

The original Friderik Širca-Risto Savin Collection was arranged by amateurs during the 1960s and exhibited in the company of a hop collection. In 1992 this collection was completely rearranged and an inventory was made. In the same year the furniture was completely restored, in 1996 audio equipment was installed, and on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the composer's death in 1998, manuscripts of all his preserved and published works (photocopies and microfilms) were purchased. The core of the collection consists of the composer's extensive legacy (182 exhibits), which makes possible a worthy presentation of his life and work, supported by photographs, two uniforms and small everyday objects. The collection is now enriched with originals and microfilms of the composer's works and recorded fragments from his operas (Maria Saal Dream, Beautiful Vida, Matija Gubec and The Last Guard), ballet music (The Little Doll, Dance Legend), lieder and compositions for orchestra, piano and for men's, women's and children's choirs.

Dore Klemenčič-Maj Gallery

The gallery of local artist Dore Klemenčič-Maj (1911–1988) was opened in 1992 in three rooms of the same house. The collection presents only a minor part of Klemenčič's extensive painting opus; most of his works are held at Cekinov Castle or in private ownership.
