Collector's Showcase

 

Imagine the life of our ancestors who inhabited these areas centuries before us. How did they perform their daily tasks? How did they celebrate holidays and family moments? What kind of clothes did they wear and what did they eat? What did they keep in cupboards and chests? Have we preserved pieces of that past in our homes and do we understand their importance?

The Ivanec Collectors' Club provides answers to these questions. Here old objects are kept from being forgotten and young people are encouraged to appreciate and recognize the importance of the past. Socializing, the exchange of ideas and help in replenishing the collections are encouraged through various initiatives.

This unique showcase represents an interesting project of exhibitors and collectors. They change the display every few months and put on various small exhibitions of various old and discarded objects with a practical purpose.

The first exhibition was organized by Boris Jagetić Daraboš, exhibiting mining carabiner lamps, kerosene lamps, irons, mortars, old clocks, and some useful clay objects.

In the Collector's Showcase, collectors have been changing their lineups every two to three months. In this way, they present their collections and convey a touch of the past to interested visitors in a very creative way. At the same time, they complete the tourist offer of this region with interesting collectible artefacts.
