Sažetak
Danica Pinterović holds a special place in the history of museology in Slavonia, but also in the regional history of Našice and Našice region. As a curator of the National Museum in Osijek (today Museum of Slavonia) and a member of KOMZA, she was in charge of visiting cultural and historical sites in Našice, and she especially stood out in salvaging the objects from Pejačević noble family’s estate. During 1946, 1947 and 1948, in diff erent places in the town, she collected a signifi cant number of objects of artistic, cultural, and historical value from family Pejačević’s castles in Našice, recorded them, and successfully transferred them to Osijek. Even though the conditions were unfavourable, thanks to the persistence and expertise of D. Pinterović and her associates, a part of the Pejačević family’s heritage was saved from destruction and was successfully musealised. Thanks to her engagement and the particularly valuable records in the KOMZA lists, as well as the documentation of the Osijek Museum, it is possible to reconstruct the former inventory of the Našice Castle, the Pejačević family’s art collection, and their valuable library. She continued working on the collected material, so those objects were included in temporary and permanent museum exhibitions, and some elements of stylistic furniture from Našice castles were used as examples in the booklet Povijest namještaja ilustrirana primjerima Muzeja Slavonije (The History of Furniture Illustrated with Examples from the Museum of Slavonia), published in 1952. Systematic and precise recording of data about collected artwork and objects was the starting point of the later research of that material, especially in exhibitions “Family Pejačević’s Library in Našice“ and “Artistic Heritage of the Pejačević Family”. While visiting Našice, D. Pinterović got interested in the history of Našice, especially its archeological sites, which had been almost completely unknown and unexplored before. In 1948, D. Pinterović and H. Hečej conducted a trial excavation in the backyard of a family house in Radićeva street. The Conservation Department entrusted the Museum of Slavonia, as the museum in charge of that area, with the research of the Klara hill in Našice. The exploration started in 1953 and was the first systematic archaeological excavation in Našice, on the so-called Fratarsko brdo (Hill of Monks, Klara’s hill). For the purposes of the research, she successfully motivated the local community and got the financial and organizational help of the local government. The excavation continued in 1954, and she hired a team of respective associates (Firinger, Gorenc, Bösendorfer, Stahuljak, Mažuran). D. Pinterović visited Našice quite often and she successfully gave the first known public lecture about a cultural topic in Našice, on November 27, 1953, under the title „Šta su spomenici kulture i koji su našički najznačajniji spomenici kulture“ (“What are cultural monuments and which are the most signifi cant cultural monuments in Našice”). Archaeological research in Našice was completed and published by her associate from the Museum of Slavonia, the historian Ive Mažuran (Osječki zbornik V, 1956). Her research on the history of Našice, for which D. Pinterović used the rich library of the Franciscan monastery in Našice, was published in 1954 in Osječki zbornik IV, under the title “Povijest Našica, povodom iskapanja 1953. i 1954. godine” (“The History of Našice, in relation to excavations in 1953 and 1954”). This was the first professional text on the history of Našice after the publication of a book by Fr. Placid Belavić Našice, povjesničke crtice (Našice, historian’s sketch stories), in the early 20th century, and to this day it remains an indispensable reference in the research of the subject. D. Pinterović’s contacts with Našice continued even later, and her records show that she continuously followed the cultural events in that area. In 1971, the first serious considerations for opening a museum appeared, and the first person that was contacted was D. Pinterović, who, in 1973, personally visited the local history material collections in Našice elementary school and Pejačević castle, which was to become the new Našice Local History Museum the following year. That is how the work of D. Pinterović is inseparably connected to the cultural and historical heritage of the Našice area and the work of Našice museum.
