The basic idea of the project entitled "Signs of Pannonian Muses" is life-size statues of nine bronze muses. The muses will be placed in special historic points across Murska Sobota so that they will be able to reveal some less known historical facts, which were very important or even crucial for the development of Prekmurje, with their meaningful connotations. They will revive memories and be reminiscent of the past, which must not be forgotten because without the past there would be no present and no future. Remembering the past is also crucial for optimal rational behaviour in the future. The town of Murska Sobota will have an opportunity to present some already forgotten or inadequately highlighted historical facts with this kind of arrangement of life-size statues with small bronze figurative compositions providing more concrete historical details in their vicinity. With this project, Murska Sobota will have a chance to educate young residents and revive memories of the older population, and particularly to place itself—and thus the entire Prekmurje area—in the Slovenian, European and even global art map as a region with a special and very important memory of the past.
