the gift of Marta Durst née Bek
inv. no.: 1525
The hand-written official letter in German language by the Royal County District notified the Royal Local District in Velika Gorica that the Royal Local Government granted Vinko Bek’s applicaion, allowing for the opening a private institute for the education and training of the blind in Croatian or Serbian. The letter bears the date 31 October 1888.
Since the official letter did not impose any financial or other obligations on the government, Bek decided to start collecting and making teaching aids needed for the education of the blind. He addressed the public, wanting the people to take part in the creation of collections of general teaching aids for the blind. At the same time, he started cooperating with a number of typhlopedagogues in Austria. He thoroughly analyzed the teaching aids that he received from abroad and improved some of them by adding his own solutions. Along with gathering teaching aids, Bek investigated other typhlological material, wanting to establish a special museum section in the future institute that would be based on developed European institutes. The document was donated to the Typhlological Museum by Marta Durst née Bek.
