SUMMARY:World of Herman’s friends
DESCRIPTION:Herman Lisjak loves all the people in the world\, so with the help of his human friends\, he prepared the 29th occasional exhibition\, placing the spotlight on Humans. The content\, displayed across four rooms\, guides us from a broad view of the world’s population\, through family and home\, down to the individual. At the exhibition\, we explore the connections between humans and everything that shapes them as social and living beings. \nAt the exhibition\, we explore the connections between humans and everything that shapes them as social and living beings. We present the development of the human species\, the world population\, different social roles\, differences and similarities between people and cultures\, various forms of families and homes. We learn about culture\, heritage\, art\, science\, architecture\, and also about human body\, senses\, and emotions. \nThe exhibition is colourful and designed to be interactive. Its museum language especially delights the youngest visitors\, encouraging them to explore and acquire new knowledge through play. \nWe have implemented the principles of equal opportunities\, considered the diversity of children\, and ensured optimal accessibility for all. Children’s Museum Herman’s Den is fully accessible to those with mobility impairments. For the visually impaired\, we’ve installed magnifiers\, and for the blind\, we’ve introduced a novelty in our museum. We recorded an audio guide\, which users can access with just their phone and headphones. Tactile objects are also available for touch. For groups of deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors\, we can provide a sign language interpreter in Slovenian Sign Language. The content is also available in English. \nIn conjunction with the exhibition\, we have printed a didactic catalogue that children can fill out at the museum\, at school\, or at home. We have prepared a computer game\, didactic elements for recognizing parts of the human body\, and many simple tasks that children can later practice at home. \nThere are more than enough reasons to spark curiosity and visit the museum\, aren’t there?

SUMMARY:Photo house Pelikan
DESCRIPTION:Razlagova Street 5\, Celje \nOPENING HOURS: \nPhoto house Pelikan can only be visited at previously announced times: \n\nevery Tuesday at 10 a.m.\, 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.\,\nevery Saturday at 9 a.m. and 12 p.m.\,\nevery first Sunday of the month at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.\n\nFor visiting Photo house Pelikan please call 00386 3 428 64 28 or send an email at informacijska@mnzc.si. \nGallery Božena is open from Tuesday to Friday between 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and between 2 p.m and 4 p.m.To arrange a visit\, please call +386 3 428 64 28 or email informacijska@mnzc.si. \nFor announced groups\, the opening time is by agreement. \nIn 2024 Musuem of Recent History Celje received the ŽIVA special award for sustainability and the preservation of heritage for its work with Photo house Pelikan. \nIn 2025\, the Museum of Recent History Celje also received the Celje Star for 2024\, the highest recognition awarded by the Municipality of Celje for achievements in the field of culture\, for the restoration of the Photo house Pelikan.  \nAccording to the selection by the Valvasor Award Committee\, the Museum of Recent History Celje — with special emphasis on the museum complex of the Photo house Pelikan\, which “stands out not only on a national but also on a European level due to the exceptional preservation and presentation of cultural heritage” — has been awarded the title of Slovenian Museum of the Year 2025. \nA large house with a studio extension was built in 1899 by the renowned photographer from Celje Johann Martin Lenz (1864–1916). After World War I\, the house was bought by the master photographer Josip Pelikan (1885–1977)\, who lived and worked there with his family for almost six decades. Pelikan’s name became synonymous with photography in Celje and its surroundings\, and many younger photographers learned their craft in his studio. \nAfter his death\, Josip Pelikan’s inheritance was carefully curated by his two daughters\, especially the younger Božena\, who continued the family craft in the house and studio until the 1990s\, when it was gradually transferred to the care and protection of the Museum of Recent History Celje. Today\, the museum holds tens of thousands of photographs and glass plates\, cameras and photographic equipment\, a rich archive and documentation; however\, the greatest treasure is undoubtedly the two well-preserved studios with the accompanying range of photographic and technical equipment. \nThe older of the two\, the skylight photographic studio\, was built by Lenz and used by Pelikan before the Second World War and has been a unit of the Museum of Recent History Celje since 1997. It is the only such example of preserved cultural and technical heritage in Slovenia and one of the few in Europe. \nAfter the death of Mrs Božena Pelikan (1922–2016)\, the Museum of Recent History Celje assumed the management of the Pelikan family house\, including the existing museum unit (the glass studio)\, to the entire building\, which now comprises over 600 m2 of exhibition and working space. \nOn the ground floor is a perfectly preserved photographic studio built before the Second World War\, which was used first by the master and then by his daughter until the end of the 20th century. \nOn the first floor\, a family apartment is open for visitors\, featuring the middle-class lifestyle from the first half of the twentieth century. \nThe top floor of the building was converted from a former attic into a cabinet\, a multi-purpose space for professional work and various accompanying programmes\, meetings and events. \nThe basement is home to gallery Božena\, an exhibition space for the presentation and promotion of photographic heritage and contemporary photographic creativity and art\, both local and foreign. \nBy prior arrangement visitors are offered a unique opportunity of individual or group portrait photography in the old photographic technique. The experience of taking photos can be upgraded with costumes from the beginning of the 20th century\, and memories can also be donated – with gift coupons for artistic photography in a glass studio. \nPromo movie about Photo house Pelikan

SUMMARY:Feels Like Home
DESCRIPTION:Feels Like Home \nGallery Božena\, Photo House Pelikan \n13 October 2026 – 8 February 2027 \nThe exhibition Feels Like Home brings together\, for the first time in a shared exhibition space\, the artistic practices of Borut Peterlin Wolf Gang and Valerie Peterlin Wolf Gang. Having developed their own artistic languages independently over many years\, the two artists now consciously intertwine their work with their private lives. The exhibition is therefore not only a meeting of two artistic practices\, but also of two life paths and two ways of understanding images\, time\, memory and belonging. \nAt its heart is a simple yet elusive question: what is home? \nIs home a place we return to? Is it a house we build? Is it family\, a memory\, or another person’s presence? Or is it\, above all\, a feeling we carry with us even when everything around us is changing? \nFor Borut Peterlin Wolf Gang\, Feels Like Home is the result of a decade-long photographic and personal journey. The series began with the end of a twenty-one-year relationship\, when the coordinates of home\, family and belonging that had once seemed self-evident changed along with the relationship itself. What followed was a decade of moving\, searching and creating temporary homes. During this process\, photography became more than a document of time. It became a ritual. \nWhenever he found himself in a new and unfamiliar space\, he began to make it his own through photography. He would place a bouquet of flowers and a camera in the space\, arrange the light\, and\, through a slow and physical photographic process\, transform his surroundings into something of his own. Taking a photo became an act of making a space feel like home. Where there was no history\, an image emerged. Where there was no memory\, a trace was created. Where there was no sense of belonging\, photography created a first connection. \nThe title Feels Like Home therefore does not necessarily refer to home itself\, but to the feeling of its presence and absence – to those moments when we try to create a sense of familiarity in a space that does not yet feel like ours. \nBorut works with historical photographic techniques from the nineteenth century\, above all wet-plate collodion on glass\, ambrotype\, albumen\, silver gelatine and carbon printing. His photos are made on glass plates in various formats\, and producing each image requires physical presence\, time\, chemistry\, light\, precision\, knowledge and patience. The deliberate pace of these processes is at the heart of his work. \nIn a world where images are created almost effortlessly and disappear just as quickly\, Borut brings photography back into the realm of the material. An image is not merely a representation of an event\, but an object and a physical trace of its existence. Light is literally inscribed into the emulsion\, and the photo becomes a material trace of a moment. \nThe ritual of preparing the bouquet\, camera and light\, and of coating\, exposing and developing the glass plate\, allowed the artist to confront life in a different way. The creative process became a way of translating distress into action\, uncertainty into observation\, and the feeling of being at a dead end into creation. \nSuch small rituals bring one back to the present moment. To the body. To the space. To the light. \nThe photographs are therefore not merely records of the places where the artist lived\, but traces of an inner process. Like tiny cracks in the darkness through which light enters\, they suggest that periods of loss do not necessarily mark the end of a story. After ten years\, the series comes to an end where a new story begins: with marriage\, the creation of a family and the establishment of a new home. \nWhile Borut Peterlin Wolf Gang explores the material and psychological traces of the search for home through photography\, Valerie Peterlin Wolf Gang approaches the same question in a new video installation through moving images\, words\, sound and intimate experience. She returns to video art\, which played an important role in her earlier artistic practice. Although in recent years she has explored new media\, virtual environments and augmented reality\, in Feels Like Home she consciously returns to one of her original creative forms – video poetry. \nWhere does the feeling of home begin for someone who has spent much of their adult life moving between different countries\, cities\, temporary homes and cultural environments? For more than a decade\, Valerie lived\, studied\, worked and created abroad. The search for new environments was connected with building an artistic and professional path\, while at the same time creating a distance from the traditional idea of home. Home became increasingly unstable and fluid\, something no longer necessarily tied to geography. \nHer video installation emerges from a deeply personal moment: her return\, her relationship with Borut\, their life together\, marriage\, the creation of a family and the building of a new home. Yet the personal story is only a starting point for a broader question: what do we need to feel at home somewhere? For some\, home is family; for others\, a house\, a city or a country. For some\, home may simply be the presence of a particular person. \nVideo poetry does not offer a definitive definition of home\, but understands it as an inner state – a space of closeness\, security\, memory and belonging. Home is no longer necessarily architecture. It can become a relationship. \nThis is where the artistic practices of the two artists meet. \nBorut attempts to make a space feel like home through photography. Valerie asks whether we need a physical space at all to find home. His photos speak of the spaces he has passed through\, while her video installation speaks of the feeling she searched for during her journeys. His work emerges through the slowness\, materiality and physical presence of the photographic process; hers through movement\, sound\, words and poetic association. Despite their differences in medium\, technology and artistic language\, their practices in Feels Like Home converge on the same question: \nHow does a person recreate a sense of belonging after periods of change? \nThe exhibition is therefore also a story about time. About a decade in which the two artists\, each following their own path\, searched for something they perhaps did not know how to name at first. Borut through photos of empty and temporary spaces\, Valerie through journeys\, moves and movement between different environments. \nTheir stories meet at a certain point. \nAnd so does the meaning of the word home. \nHome is no longer simply the place we come from. \nIt becomes something we create. \nHome is a process that changes and grows with time\, ebbs and flows\, and is\, in a sense\, alive. And within it\, there is space. Space with memory. With ritual. With art. With another person. \nFeels Like Home is therefore not simply an exhibition about their life together. It is an exhibition about the universal human need to belong. About the moments when we lose the space we understood as our own\, and about the moments when we have to piece it together again. \nSometimes from a photo. \nSometimes from light. \nSometimes from an image\, a sound or a memory. \nSometimes from another person\, beside whom we suddenly realise that we have come home.
