Exhibition: 2 December 2025 – 25 April 2026, NUK Exhibition Hall
With the exhibition Do You Draw Miki Muster?, the National and University Library joins the events marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Miki Muster (1925–2018), a popular creator of Slovenian comics and an exceptional illustrator who has left a mark on several generations of readers and viewers.
We present selected materials from the rich library collections of the NUK and an exceptional donation from Ciril Gale, a long-time publisher and expert on Muster’s work. Visitors can admire Muster’s comic classics – Trickster, Hardie, and Hungerly, which have become part of our collective memory, as well as rare publications, book illustrations and original drawings that reveal the author’s mastery, creative breadth and dedication to drawing. We also dedicate a special place to Muster’s work in the field of animated film, which significantly shaped early Slovenian animation in both the field of cartoons and advertising messages.
The exhibition at NUK is complemented in content by the exhibition at the Ljubljana City Museum, which presents Muster’s life, personal story and the development of his artistic path in more detail. Together, they offer a comprehensive insight into the life and work of the artist, who, with his unique style, humor and criticality, significantly marked Slovenian visual culture of the 20th century.
You are invited to the exhibition, which opens the door to the magical world of Miki Muster – a creator who became a legend with every drawing.
