Oživljeni svijet Jagode Truhelke

In her literary work aimed particularly at the very young, the authoress Jagoda Truhelka painted a picture of Osijek from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Rich literary holdings, as well as a part of her private, family heritage is kept at the Museum of Slavonia. The possibility of getting to know and recognise literary elements in exhibits and exhibition elements in literature is an idea that will, hopefully, be realised one day at the Museum of Slavonia with the cooperation of the Department of Literature of the College of Liberal Arts in Osijek. This multimedia project is aimed at presenting individual segments of Osijek’s past as described in Jagoda Truhelka’s works (photographs of Osijek from the end of the 19th century, artistic and other objects from the turn of the century, newspapers and books, posters of theatre productions and artistic events…), all interwoven with segments of the authoress’ real life - manuscripts, photographs… Through this project the Museum holdings would bring life to literature and lead to new knowledge about Osijek’s rich past.
