As a curator of the National Museum in Osijek (today Museum of Slavonia) and a member of KOMZA, she was in charge of visiting cultural and historical sites in Na£¿ice, and she especially stood out in salvaging the objects from Peja£¿evi£¿ noble family¡¯s estate. During 1946, 1947 and 1948, in diff erent places in the town, she collected a signifi cant number of objects of artistic, cultural, and historical value from family Peja£¿evi£¿¡¯s castles in Na£¿ice, recorded them, and successfully transferred them to Osijek. Even though the conditions were unfavourable, thanks to the persistence and expertise of D. Pinterovi£¿ and her associates, a part of the Peja£¿evi£¿ family¡¯s heritage was saved from destruction and was successfully musealised. Thanks to her engagement and the particularly valuable records in the KOMZA lists, as well as the documentation of the Osijek Museum, it is possible to reconstruct the former inventory of the Na£¿ice Castle, the Peja£¿evi£¿ family¡¯s art collection, and their valuable library. She continued working on the collected material, so those objects were included in temporary and permanent museum exhibitions, and some elements of stylistic furniture from Na£¿ice castles were used as examples in the booklet Povijest namje£¿taja ilustrirana primjerima Muzeja Slavonije (The History of Furniture Illustrated with Examples from the Museum of Slavonia), published in 1952. Systematic and precise recording of data about collected artwork and objects was the starting point of the later research of that material, especially in exhibitions ¡°Family Peja£¿evi£¿¡¯s Library in Na£¿ice¡° and ¡°Artistic Heritage of the Peja£¿evi£¿ Family¡±. While visiting Na£¿ice, D. Pinterovi£¿ got interested in the history of Na£¿ice, especially its archeological sites, which had been almost completely unknown and unexplored before. In 1948, D. Pinterovi£¿ and H. He£¿ej conducted a trial excavation in the backyard of a family house in Radi£¿eva street. The Conservation Department entrusted the Museum of Slavonia, as the museum in charge of that area, with the research of the Klara hill in Na£¿ice. The exploration started in 1953 and was the first systematic archaeological excavation in Na£¿ice, on the so-called Fratarsko brdo (Hill of Monks, Klara¡¯s hill). For the purposes of the research, she successfully motivated the local community and got the financial and organizational help of the local government. The excavation continued in 1954, and %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=317809
