Visualization of Food in Museums - Food as Museum exhibit Museum Exhibits with Positive Visual Effects in the Permanent Exhibition

U Muzeju “Staro selo” Kumrovec postavljena je još 1985. godine stalna izložba “Zagorska svadba” s prikazom ugodaja kuće u kojoj se sprema svadbeno veselje. Uz prikaz kićenja kuće i mobilijara vrpcama i cvijećem od krep-papira, pozornost privlače realistički izradeni odljevi svečane tradicijske hrane. Pečeni odojak, purice s mlincima, salate od cikle, graha, krastavaca, zelene salate lijevani su u gipsu te potom oslikavani i zaštićivani odgovarajućim lakovima. Istom tehnikom radeni su pšenični i kukuruzni kruh, kuglof, orehnjača, makovnjača, mliječna pogača i kolač u obliku srca namijenjen mladencima. Pileći ujušak ajngemahtes, i žganci s mlijekom koje su obično jela djeca odljeveni su u obojanoj silikonskoj gumi. Postavljen svadbeni stol s realistički modeliranim odljevcima posjetiteljima odašilje pozitivne vizualne efekte tematskog prikaza muzejskog postava „Zagorska svadba“.In the open-air museum ‘Staro Selo’ in the village of Kumrovec a permanent exhibition titled ‘Zagorje Wedding’ was set in 1985 and it presented the atmosphere in the house where the traditional wedding party was being prepared. The presented interior of the house and the furniture were decorated with ribbons and flowers made of crepe-paper, and the attention of the visitors was constantly drawn to the very realistic casts of traditional wedding meals. Roast pork, roast turkey with traditional pasta (mlinci), beetroot salad, beans, pickles and lettuce were plaster casts which were painted and conserved by protective varnish. Wheat and corn bread, the traditional cake kuglof, walnut-dough cake, poppy seed-dough cake, sweet bread and a heart-shaped cake for the newlyweds were also done in the same technique. Chicken soup (ajngemanhtes) and polenta with milk, usually prepared for children, were cast in the painted silicone rubber. The decorated wedding table with realistic casts creates positive visual effects for the visitors of the thematic presentation of the exhibition ‘Zagorje wedding’
