Explore Slovene Museum of Christianity
Slovene Museum of Christianity cordially invites you to the exhibition:
Abbot of Stična
Jakob Reinprecht
as a Patron of Early Baroque Artworks
New discoveries over the last half century have made it necessary to refresh and deepen our knowledge of Baroque art in Slovenia. With the exhibition on Abbot Reinprecht, we are joining the project Baroque in Slovenia alongside other museums and galleries, and above all we are discovering an important church dignitary of the early 17th century who forged the way for Baroque art in Carniola. Jakob Reinprecht radically renovated the abbey in the spirit of the times, and in many ways its Baroque appearance is still visible today. Among other works, he built the Old Prelature, a former representative and administrative building, which today houses the Slovene Museum of Christianity.
The exhibition is accompanied by a rich Baroque-tinged educational and pedagogical programme.
