Abstract
The holdings relating to authors at the Virovitica Municipal Museum is diverse. It includes books, several manuscripts, newspapers, a sculpture, postcards, individual photographs and several albums of photographs, a total of some 90 objects. All the collected objects are kept in the Cultural and Historical Collection, in a separate section known as Famous People of Virovitica. The collected material is linked with local authors, some of which are known to the public at large, and some only to specialists. Franjo Fuis, better known for his unusual signature “Fra-Ma-Fu”, was a reporter and author. Milan Nikolić is the author of Croatian detective novels, and was one
of the most widely read authors of that genre in Croatia. Ivan Dobravec Plevnik, the founder and long-time editor of the first newspaper in Virovitica (the Þ rst issue of “Virovitičan” came out
on September 19th 1899), was a writer of popular plays and romantic history novels dealing with Virovitica’s past. In his newspapers he published instalments stories under the penname Ivan Starić. Among living authors who are linked to Virovitica through their childhood and school life, we have works by Branislav Glumac and Božica Jelušić.
