Coming Home

In the 20th century, the inhabitants of the Slovene territory were displaced by wars across numerous battlefields, in prisoner-of-war, refugee and exile camps across the whole of Europe and outside its borders. During wars states, state borders, social systems and values changed but the common wish of soldiers, refugees, exiles , prisoners and other displaced persons of war was to return home.

In cooperation with seventeen Slovene museums we will prepare an exhibition project entitled The Journey Home. The exhibition will be dedicated to stories and memories of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Isonzo front (1915) and the 70th anniversary of the end of WW2 (1945). The project, which will be in the form of exhibitions opened in various museums, galeries and exhibition places of the participating institutions around Slovenia, speaks about returning home and the fate of an individual in the frame of the whole history of the 20th century.

The exhibition will be opened on the Summer Museum Night, June 20, 2015 and will be on view until September 1, 2016.
