Sažetak
Last year, 2015, was marked by the opening of some important
museums, as well as by a considerable number of new
permanent exhibitions, a review of which is appended in
chronological order.
The Croatian Museum of Medicine and Pharmacy, founded in
2014 at the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, in March
last year acquired a director, senior librarian and senior curator
Silvija Brkić Midžić, and thus officially started its work.
The municipality of Matulji and the Maritime and History
Museum of the Hrvatsko primorje Region Rijeka started
collaborative work on the renovation of the set up of the Lipa
Remembers Memorial Centre in 2012. The museum commemorates
the war crime committed in Lipa, a border village of
the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County in which 269 villagers were
murdered. The museum was opened in April 2015, the third
branch collection of the MHM. The monastery and church of St
Francis in Šibenik, which has existed several centuries, since
immediately after the foundation of the diocese of Šibenik, is
the custodian of artistic, literary and musical heritage of national
importance. Last summer the Museum of St Francis was
opened to the public within the building used by the order
of the ConventualFranciscans. It shows Gothic and Baroque
reliquaries, altar and other paintings and objects and a presentation
of the religious music heritage and the monastic
library.
In Vukovar this summer, after much expectation, the museum
of Vučedol Culture was at last opened, the culmination of a
major project sponsored by the government of the Republic
of Croatia and called Ilok-Vukovar-Vučedol. Located on a
significant archaeological finding site, the museum is conceived
and built in such a way as to fit into the surroundings. In
the permanent display archaeological artefacts reconstruct
and represent the life and customs of Vučedol culture, which
peaked in the period of the late Aeneolithic. The architectural
design for the museum won the principal prize at the 50th
Zagreb Salon in 2015.
Sinj Alka – the knightly tournament in Sinj that has been
placed on the UNESCO list of the world intangible heritage has
had a museum of its own since last year in the complex of
the Alkar Palace. The Knightly Alkar Association of Sinj is the
founder of the Museum of Sinj Alka, which shows the history
of the Alka through a collection of exhibits consisting of the
equipment, weapons and uniforms of the alkars, or riders, and
for the purposes of the exhibition a procession of horses and
riders in life size was made.
In Betina on Murter Island, the Museum of Betina Wooden
Shipbuilding was opened. It is dedicated to the art of building
the Betina gajeta, itself a protected intangible property of
the Republic of Croatia. Combined with the presentation of
shipbuilding skills and tools in the Museum are ethnographic
exhibits that show us the context of the life in which the
wooden boats of the Betina yard were built
