On November 4, 2021 at 5 pm, the Slovak Mining Museum – Jozef Kollár Gallery in Banská Štiavnica organized a presentation by the ethnologist Tatiana Bužeková entitled Slovak Superstition Stories and Slavic Mythology. It was an accompanying event to the exhibition of Jarmila Mitríková and Dávid Demjanovič: “Whispering Shadows, Blazing Flames, and the Green Oracle” in the Jozef Kollár Gallery.
