Below the Ponce Mountains – from the photographic collections of the National Museum of Contemporary History

Below the Ponce Mountains – from the photographic collections of the National Museum of Contemporary History, Ljubljana Castle, between February 12, 2014 and April 13, 2014

This year we are celebrating the 80th anniversary of the first international ski jumping competition in Planica. Through the present exhibition, the National Museum of Contemporary History aims to make a small contribution to the mosaic of celebrations – with a selection of photographs from its rich photographic collections from between 1934 and 1991 and with films by Jože Pogačnik and Veličan Bešter from the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia. Additionally, some caricatures on the theme of ski jumping by the artist Bine Rogelj, also a former successful jumper, will add a humorous touch to the exhibition.

The selected photographs, which are intended to present the historical pulse of life in Planica over the aforementioned period, were taken by various well-known Slovene photographers, including Svetozar Busić, Edi Šelhaus, Nace Bizilj, Miloš Švabić, Marjan Ciglič, Vlastja Simončič, Marijan Pfeifer, Bogo Primožič, Leon Jere, Dragan Arrigler, Rudi Paškulin, Milan Pogačar, Miha Dariš, Lado Čuk, Joco Čermak  and others.
