THE GREAT CULTURAL - HISTORICAL EXHIBITION OF THE CITY OF VARAŽDIN IN 1923
Siniša Horvat
Sažetak
In the period between the two world wars, among the key factors of cultural
life in the city of Varaždin was the Varaždin High School Extension. During two and
a half months in 1923, the local intelligentsia, gathered around a core consisting of
Varaždin High School professors, organized the Cultural and Historical Exhibition of
the city of Varaždin. At that time, it was the first such exhibition in the Kingdom of
SHS, which aroused great interest from experts and the public. In the period from
July 14 to 22, 1923, it was installed in eight large rooms of the Varaždin Gymnasium,
representing the rich cultural and historical legacy of the city of Varaždin and
its surroundings, created and preserved during the past centuries.
The exceptional success of the Cultural and Historical Exhibition of the city of
Varaždin served as an incentive for the establishment of the Varaždin Museum Society,
whose primary goal was the establishment of the Varaždin city museum. Its
implementation was successfully completed two years later as part of the threeday
celebration marking the thousandth anniversary of the Croatian kingdom.
