− | The [[Museum of Madness]] was established in [[established::2013]] as a private institute, spurred by the sinister presence of the [[Cmurek Castle]], which functioned as a psychiatric hospital from 1955 till 2004. Nine years after its abandonment the castle became a nexus for a local initiative focused on a provocative reevaluation of madness. The museum's cultural and communal activities deal with the detabooisation and promote deinstitutionalisation. With a substantial amount of voluntary work and the support from both neighbouring municipalities (Šentilj from the Slovenian and Mureck from the Austrian side) the institute has turned the castle into a unique venue. | + | The [[Museum of Madness]] was established in [[established::2013]] as a private institute in Trate, spurred by the sinister presence of the [[Cmurek Castle]], which functioned as a psychiatric hospital from 1955 till 2004.
