Abstract	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’.
