An exhibition opened in Ljubljana that showcases an array of nativity scenes that were made using various templates from TIM Magazine.

Nativity scene – an unlimited variety of materials
Nativity scene maker Matej Pavlič, a famous Slovenian model maker, used a number of materials to depict the biblical event. He focussed on the explanation of the process because he tried to show how everyone can set up a nativity scene at home. He included several templates and lists of materials needed.

"The idea is to share these instructions on how to set up a nativity scene. The instructions are detailed, suitable for children with appropriate adult supervision, and every family member can participate. 20 nativity scenes are on display, three of them were made by model maker Sašo Ogrizek, who published the templates in TIM," Pavlič said at the opening ceremony.

The nativity scenes will be on display until January 6, admission is free for all visitors.
