Slovenian Traditional Chests

Tu pride flash

Slovenian Ethnographic Museum/Slovenski etnografski muzej in Ljubljana guards an enormous number of the treasures of Slovenian etnographic heritage. Many of these are seen rarely, being shown on special occasions. The Slovenian chest/"skrinja" has been on display recently, and permission was given to take photographs. This gallery is the result.

The collection of albums represent celebratory events in the life of Slovenian community in Australia and Slovenia.

Australia has become a second home for about 25,000 Slovenes, who started to arrive in greater numbers since 1950. They have settled in all the states of Australia, the majority in Melbourne and Sydney area.

The series of albums has been inaugurated with events in the Melbourne Slovenian community and parallel traditional celebrations in Slovenia, reflecting the common experience of two homelands and frequent exchange visits.

The collection of visual impressions of Slovenian landscape, both rural and urban, is a photographic attempt to present a multilayered historical country with deep imprints of the long and fascinating history of Slovenia, traced through preserved historical buildings, townships and villages, and museums which contain ancient artifacts and documents.

There is a particular focus on the capital city Ljubljana, with its 2,000 years recorded history, which is reflected in phenomenal urban planning, architecture from Roman to the post-modern period, and exciting recent archeological discoveries.

Slovenia is comprised of six topographical regions, possessing a complex network of watercourses and lakes. The albums offer a panoramic view of the diversity of Slovenian regions, from the snow-covered peaks of the Alps, and fertile Pannonian plains in the north, the rolling green hills of the centre and thermal mineral springs of the north-east, to the mysterious Karst with its wonderous caves and vanishing waterways, and the picturesque Adriatic coastline in the south.
