The exhibition titled 'Franc Oblak Aci, Master Bowyer', will be held to celebrate an outstanding artisan, master bowyer and long-term archery competitor Franc Oblak Aci. The exhibition will open on 18 May 2024 at 19:00 at Bled Castle.

Franc Oblak Aci has loved working with wood since he was a child. Although he chose a different career path, he often returned to wood and wood working, especially bow making, which eventually became his second career. Thanks to the precious experience that Franci and his wife Doroteja acquired from competing at archery tournaments and through continuous studying and improving his knowledge, Franci Oblak has been awarded the title of master craftsman. His exquisite bows helped many top archers win medals at European and world championships.

The exhibition commemorating Franci’s 50-year-long career of master bowyer will be on display at Bled Castle from 1 May to 30 September 2024.
