At the exhibition opening we had a great help from the art historian of Slovenian-Japanese descent on a postgraduate study in Munich Ida Bučar Maki who simultaneously translated the opening ceremony. Exhibited paintings and specimens where variegated by the members of Slovenian Cultural Society Lipa from Munich and by a group from the studio La Silhouette which prepared a fashion show of the futuristic clothes. Munich, with 1,2 million inhabitants, is a cultural and administrative capital of Bavaria, which invests a lot in the culture. This night was opened more than 200 museums and galleries, free of charge together with the bus transit. All participants, museums and galleries, together with exhibitions were presented in a catalogue which included also a ticket for all the museums and galleries for merely 15€. Comparative looking 15€ was the cost of breakfast in the Leonardo hotel where I was sleeping. Despite the rain residents of Munich filled all the museums and galleries till the small hours. That night more than 800 visitors visited the little ART gallery and left in the guestbook only commendations for the exhibitions from Celje and little ART.
