Author’s Guidance through the Exhibition “Magic of Glass”

At the author’s guidance by Violeta Cvetanoska, senior curator of the National Museum Kraljevo, through the exhibition “Magic of Glass: Glassware from the Ethnological Collection of Household Furnishings of the National Museum Kraljevo”, visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the glass objects that were used in bourgeois houses in Kraljevo and which were part of the family’s everyday life. We are talking about bottles, glasses, and jugs within the beverage set, as well as serving trays, bowls, candy boxes, perfume bottles and other types of furnishings.

Given that they were produced in glass factories that appeared in the second half of the 19th century and flourished during the 20th century, the audience will have the opportunity to hear the story of the most important moments in the history of glassmaking in the wider area of Yugoslavia. There are also objects from the manufactures of Central Europe, which speak of the taste and cultural habits of the people of Kraljevo. A special part is represented by a showcase with Roman glass dating from the 1st to the 4th century AD. as well as icons on glass, created in Banat in the 19th century.
