Museum Club

EXPERIENCE

Socialising is a start, talking is progress, working together is success.

The MUSEUM CLUB is now in its 17th year. It is a sustainable programme that highlights individual elements of cultural heritage and links them to current events in Slovenia and Europe.

In 2019, the moderator of the MUSEUM CLUB will be the renowned director Bojan Labović, who will highlight the role of bourgeois culture in postmodern society with the theme of the bourgeoisie versus the petty bourgeoisie. Questions will be raised about the role and meaning of bourgeois culture, the legacy of the values that shaped the entire 19th century, and how we respond to them today. The MUSEUM CLUB will be held on five occasions in March, April, September, October and November.

SCENOGRAPHIC ELEMENTS OF THE BOURGEOISIE

A Mirror to the Petty Bourgeoisie

The 28th of March 2019

At our first gathering we will compare the bourgeoisie, which has historically been the vehicle of democracy, economic, scientific and cultural progress, and its deviation, the petty bourgeoisie, which is the opposite of bourgeois progress. Our guests will be historian Andrej Studen and ethnologist Dr Maja Godina Golija.

The Bourgeois Psyche

The initial question of this year's Museum Club will be whether the bourgeoisie would exist without its typical characteristics such as narcissism, nervousness and suffering.

MUSEUM CLUB - MUSIC THROUGH TIME

The MUSEUM CLUB will have its 14th modified edition in 2016, which is a testament to the sustainability and success of the programme. With the club we highlight the museum object and its story, relating it to current events in the region and beyond. Among the guests of the club we should mention Dr Vesna Vuk Godina, intellectual and poet Ciril Zlobec, Alenka Puhar, Primož Debenjak, Dr Dušan Nečák, Dr František Arhár, Dr Zinka Zorka, Dr Manica Špendal and many other prominent personalities in the region of Slovenia. In 2014, we dedicated the leading theme to Rudolf Gustav Puff, a secondary school professor, chronicler of the city Maribor, and highlighted stories that helped shape the current events of the 21st century. The museum curators highlighted individual museum objects, which were used as a prism of the 19th century to respond to the current events of the 21st century. Due to the continued high response and attendance of the MUSEUM CLUB, we are continuing the project in 2016, when the focus will be on intangible heritage. We will take a walk through the history of music, from the Renaissance to the 20th century, with a series of short concerts. The concerts will be accompanied by lectures on each musical period, complemented by features from the local environment. Topics we are highlighting in 2016 are:

Vocal Solo Music in the Renaissance and Baroque Periods

In the Times of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven

An Introduction to the Romantic 19th Century

Music and Revolution

Music and Ballroom Dancing in the Late Romantic Era

Lieds: In the Footsteps of the Musical Masters Benjamin Ipavec and Hugo Wolf
