The exhibition COLLECTED AND SELECTED FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD presents the extensive and valuable legacy of art historian and ethnologist Dr. Štefka Cobelj (1923–1989), which is housed in Celje Regional Museum.
More than 2,000 items (ethnological objects, jewelry, numismatics, etc.) are presented on the exhibition. The collections, formed during her many professional journeys, include objects from Africa, Asia, and Europe. Passionate about travel, Štefka Cobelj sometimes journeyed for work, and at other times out of an irresistible desire to explore new cultures. She was fluent in German, English, French, and Italian, and also studied Swedish and later Polish. Over the years, she visited most European countries as well as destinations in Africa, the Americas, and Asia.
