The exhibition visitors will also have the opportunity to see the fountain pens manufactured in Zagreb in the mid-20th<\/sup> century by the Penkala\u2013Edmund Moster & Co company which today are preserved at Peroklinika<\/a>, one of the oldest workshops for repairing fountain pens in Europe, running for the last 70 years. A part of the exhibition programme will also focus on the design and construction of fountain pens, as well as on the ways in which they are manufactured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fountain pen lives on<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the rapid technological development and its impact on the technology of writing, in particular on writing by hand, the fountain pen is still widely used today, especially on solemn occasions, such as various signing ceremonies. Based on the most representative examples, the exhibition visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the technique that writing with a fountain pen requires and try it out themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
