Miki Muster – Exhibition on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth

Exhibition: Ljubljana City Museum from October 22, 2025 to February 22, 2026 (opening at 7:00 PM)

With selected photo documents and objects, the exhibition will bring to life the time when the whole world came to life in Ljubljana with cartoons, commercials and film.

Miki Muster was an academic sculptor, yet he created only a few sculptures. From his teenage years onward, he dreamed of making animated films. To achieve this, he became an illustrator with an unstoppable passion, mastering all the secrets of animation as a self-taught artist, so that his cartoon characters could come to life on Slovenian television (we only need to recall the lively trio of rabbits from the television trailer Cikcak)...

The author of the exhibition is Metka Fujs, who prepared the exhibition and was also on display on the 70th anniversary of Zvitorepec, one of Muster’s most recognizable comic book heroes.

My first published interview was a conversation with Miki Muster titled Slovenian Disney.

This year is particularly important for us, as it marks the anniversary of the birth of the great master of the ninth art – Miki Muster. Slovenian comics were long overshadowed by Croatian and Serbian comics, which Slovenian readers could only read in Croatian or Serbian, i.e. in their periodicals, because the first “Slovenian” weekly with comics, Majin strip, was only published in the early 1960s, and even then it was published in Serbian. Therefore, we can say that Zvitorepec is indeed the first such Slovenian publication to appear after the economic reform of 1965. This year, we will host a series of events related to comics and, in particular, to our legendary author Miki Muster.

On this occasion, on April 29, 2025, in issue 17 of the weekly magazine Ona (a supplement to the newspa...
