This thesis aims to review and evaluate the professional work of art historian dr. Ana Schiffrer at the Carniolan Provincial Museum, where she worked from 1912 to 1915. Her work has mainly spanned over the fields of archaeology and art history. During her employment in 1914, the museum opened the first public historical exhibition of paintings, which she prepared together with the then director of the Provincial Museum, dr. Josip Mantuani. Through an examination of the material stored in the Archives of the National Museum of Slovenia, the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia (the private legacy of Anna Schiffrer) and in the music collection of the National and University Library (the private legacy of Josip Mantuani), the work attempts to shed light on the relationships and the flow of data acquisition for the exhibition and catalogue of paintings, as well as other fields of activity in which the collaborator, who passed away in 1915, worked in at the Provincial Museum of Carniola.
