Public Guided Tour of the Exhibition
Notranjska – Maister’s Second, Yet True Home

The final public guided tour of the exhibition Notranjska – Maister’s Second, Yet True Home reveals the close connection between Rudolf Maister and the Inner Carniola region.

Already in Rudolf’s childhood, the Maister family often visited their relatives, the Sebenikar family. His mother’s sister Matilda and her husband Lovrenc first settled in Rakek and later in Unec. After the death of Rudolf’s father in 1887, Lovrenc became the guardian of his nephews, Ernest and Rudolf. Even after his retirement in 1923, Rudolf Maister often spent his summers on the Sebenikar estate in Unec. It was also in Unec that Rudolf Maister passed away in 1934.

The tour will be led by the exhibition’s co-author, Alenka Juvan.

Maister Evening: Dr. Gregor Antoličič and Špela Valadžija
Maister’s Time Capsule

In Slovenian collective memory, Rudolf Maister is often perceived primarily as the resolute general from the period of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which unjustly narrows the understanding of his significance. Even before 1918, through collecting Slovenian books and engaging in artistic activities, he strengthened national consciousness. After 1919, he proved himself to be a well-educated intellectual and a chronicler of his time.

By intensively collecting material on revolutionary events, he created an extensive archival collection that, despite the war, has been preserved in various archives up to the present day.

As the creator of this material, Maister, through his dedication and his sense for preserving the memory of important historical events, created an invaluable “time capsule” that offers insight into the period of post-imperial transition and a connection with the revolutionary generation.
