Dr, Niko Sadnikar Head

This collection was established and opened in 1893 by Dr Josip Nikolaj Sadnikar (1863-1952), a veterinary surgeon and amateur collector of antiques, sacred art, paintings by Slovene artists who studied in Vienna in the late 19th century and Chinese and Japanese art. In 1964 Kamnik Intermunicipal Museum purchased half of the collection. The remainder of Dr Sadnikar`s collection is now preserved in the family`s house. The rooms are decorated with antique furniture while the walls exhibit the most interesting items of sacred art and paintings by late 19th century Slovene artists such as Maksim Gaspari, Guidon Birolla, Hinko Smrekar, Ferdo Vesel and others; antique porcelain and glass, arms, carpets and Chinese and Japanese works of art are also on display.
