Spominska zbirka Otona Župančiča
Vinica 6, SI-8344 Vinica




Dedicated to Slovene poet Oton Župančič (1878–1949), the Oton Župančič Memorial Collection, established in 1991, is installed in a house erected on the site of Župančič former homestead, which burned down in 1888, in the centre of Vinica. The museum commemorates also the birth of teacher Franjo Lovšin (1863–1931), also born in the same house, and the native Oton Berkopec (1906–1988), Slavist, poet, and translator, to whom an exhibition on the upper floor of the house is dedicated. In the garden there is a bust of Oton Župančič by sculptor Jakob Savinšek.



Exhibition

The exhibition in one small and two big rooms on the ground floor first introduces visitors to the poet's family, his childhood and youth, with photographs and documentary material. The cultural and social environment in which Župančič grew up is also illustrated, with special emphasis on the emigration problem in the Bela krajina region. The next room presents a chronological survey of Župančič's literary and other work, together with a survey of published and translated works and his translations of foreign authors. Župančič often used the names of ethnological objects in his poetry and in the last room poems of that kind are exhibited and illustrated by the objects to which the poet refers.
