The exhibition on Oton \u017dupan\u010di\u010d (1878\u20131949), one of the most important Slovenian poets and translators, is entitled \u017dupan\u010di\u010d \u2013 A Master of Words.<\/p>\n<p>It was conceived by Assoc. Prof. Dr Marijan Dovi\u0107 of the ZRC SAZU Institute of Slovenian Literature and Literary Studies, and the overall visual design was contributed by the architect Jurij Kocuvan (Studio 300, Novo mesto).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<blockquote class=\"article-quote\">\n<p class=\"article-quote__text\">He has settled forever in our consciousness and in our hearts with his poems.
