The municipality of Ormož wants to withdraw from the co-founding of the Ptuj-Ormož Regional Museum
The article discusses the potential withdrawal of the municipality of Ormož from its role as a founding member of the Regional Museum Ptuj-Ormož, along with plans to integrate cultural activities under the municipal tourism, culture, and sports office. The mayor, Danijel Vrbnjak, explains that the municipality already operates a public institution managing the renovated Ormoški Grad, and now wishes to consolidate cultural content and heritage management under one organization. He mentions the possibility of unified management of Ormoški Grad, the castle in Študenci, and Velika Nedelja, which are currently managed by the museum. Director Aleksander Lorenčič confirms ongoing discussions and highlights the need for agreements between municipalities and the adoption of relevant acts at the local level. The museum emphasizes the continued presence of museological content and collections, requiring ongoing collaboration with the Ptuj Museum. The article notes that the museum serves 19 municipalities, including Ormož, Sveti Tomaž, and Središče ob Dravi, with the latter having withdrawn from the founding status in 2019.
V Deželnem muzeju za Koroško v Celovcu je med 9. majem in 26. oktobrom 2025 potekala razstava *Hinschaun! Poglejmo. Kärten und der Nationalsozialismus. Koroška in nationalsocializem*, ki je privlačila več kot 25.000 obiskovalcev. Razstava je bila edinstvena za Celovec in Koroško, ker je bila prva, ki je sistematično prikazala zločine nacizma na Koroškem, kjer so bili koroški Slovenci kot tarče brutalnega in sistematiziranega raznarodovanja. Vodstvo muzeja je sodelovalo z dvema slovenskima avtorjema – Andreasom Krištofom in Peterjem Pirkerjem – kar je bilo pomembno, ker je bila do zdaj izključno nemška ustanova. Krištof, ki je slovenski soavtor, je potomec družine, ki so jo nacisti leta 1942 nasilno izselili iz doma in odpeljali v internacijo v Nemčijo. Razstava je bila zelo kritična in je opozorila na slepe pege v kulturi spominjanja, kar je bilo zelo pomembno za razvoj kolektivnega spomina v regiji.
Po razstavi so avtorji pripravili tudi knjigo s tem istim naslovom, *Hinschaun! Poglejmo. Kärten und der Nationalsozialismus. Koroška in nationalsocializem*, ki ima 346 strani in je objavljena v Verlag Johannes Heyn. Knjiga je obširno povzela vsebino razstave in dodala refleksije ter pogled v obravnavo teh tem v prihodnje. Ključna vloga v razstavi in knjigi je igrala Sara Pan, ki je bila voditeljica oddaj in urednica Slovenskega sporeda ORF v Celovcu. Njena delo je bilo pomembno za spremembo perspektive in povezavo med zgodovino in sodobnim spominom.
Direktor Koroškega muzeja v Celovcu, dr. Wolfgang Muchitsch, je v uvodu v knjigo zapisal, da so spominska leta in obletnice, kot sta konec druge svetovne vojne leta 1945 in podpis Avstrijske državne pogodbe leta 1955, priložnost za muzeje, da kritično raziskujejo zgodovinske in družbene procese ter predstavljajo aktualne raziskave. Muzej je tako kritična vest dežele, ki jo potrebuje za razvijanje kolektivnega spomina v prihodnosti. Njegov namen je bil opozoriti na slepe pege v kulturi spominjanja in kritično premisliti razumevanje demokracije in družbe. Razstava je bila prvi celovit prikaz razdejanj in ran, ki so nastale med razmahom moči in nasilno nacistično oblastjo na Koroškem. To je bil čas, ko so Korošci stali nasproti kot storilci in žrtve, ko je bila v deželi izbrisana raznolikost ter uničena pluralistična družba.
Razstava je bila tudi priložnost za poudarek na pomembnosti kulture spominjanja na Koroškem, kjer so bili ključni akterji in tematska težišča. Direktor muzeja je izpostavil, da je razstava pozvala obiskovalce, naj natančneje pogledajo tja, kjer je družbeno in politično potlačeno, in da je njen namen osvetliti domnevno pozabljeno in spregledano v koroški zgodovini po letu 1938 ter pokazati, kam vodita miselnost in ravnanje, ki se sklicujeta na koncepte nadvlade in narodne skupnosti. To je bilo zelo pomembno za razvoj spomina in razumevanje dejanskih dogodkov v regiji.
Na koncu je razstava v Cekinovem gradu v Ljubljani, kjer je matična enota Muzeja novejše in sodobne zgodovine Slovenije, predstavljena tudi razstava *Darila državi*, kjer so na ogled 200 daril iz 57 držav sveta ter druga darila, ki so jih v svojih mandatih prejeli predsedniki Republike Slovenije. Razstava je pokazala, da so darila predsednikov ne samo personalna, ampak tudi državna, saj predstavljajo raznolikost in zgodovinski pomen. Med darili so bile tudi tujinska umetniška dela, kozarci, porcelan, čevlji z zlatimi nitkami, kurent, vreča z mrazom z Babnega polja, ter drugi predmeti, ki so bili darjeni kot znak pripravljenosti in spoštovanja. Razstava je bila tudi priložnost za poudarek na pomembnosti športa kot ambasadora države, kjer so bili predsedniki sprejemali športnike po velikih tekmovanjih, kar je pripomogočo k razvoju države in njenega identiteta.
