Abstract
Upon the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the death of Prof. Ante Glavičić in Senj from 26th-27th April 2013 there was held a Round table dedicated to the life and work of Prof. Ante Glavičić. At the assembly the versatility of Prof. Ante Glavičić and everything that he left behind as an archaeologist, museumist, conservator and curator in the research and preservation of Senj’s and Croatia’s rich historical and natural heritage was spoken about by many eminent Croatian scientists such as: Anica Nazor, Anđelko Mijatović, Dragutin Pavličević, Milan Moguš, Mile Bogović, Mirko Valentić, Milan Kruhek and numerous others. Participants at the meeting, speaking about the life and work of Prof. Ante Glavičić, also mentioned the excellent mutual collaboration and his great contribution to the restoration of the building of the museum and the Nehaj fortress, as well as the research into the history of the city of Senj and its environs. Also spoken about was his successful museum-gallery work through the
realisation of large numbers of authorial and co-authorial exhibitions, and about how with the help of collaborators he marked many significant anniversaries in Senj and Croatian history which achieved
remarkable success and meaning on local and national levels, and how he organised many academic and scientific symposia at which he also actively participated. At the meeting it was concluded that
Ante Glavičić was: a researcher, archaeologist and historian, all in one person, which is evident in his scientific work. Throughout his life he worked in the interest of Senj’s cultural heritage, established
contacts and collaborations with various institutes all the way to HAZU (the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts), knowing that the role of the Museum in the City under Nehaj is significant and great because it takes a professional, cultural, educational, promotional and scientific mission in the city. He permanently marked Senj with his work in the protection and promotion of the rich culturalhistorical heritage of the city of Senj, and this also means Croatian archaeology and museology. The work of Prof. Glavičić was noted and appreciated, he received many acknowledgments and prizes for it. Therefore from everything that was heard at the meeting the conclusion was made that Prof. Glavičić achieved and made during his life what most ordinary people could not succeed to do in three life times. Still to be added is his very responsible activity in the editing and publishing of the Senj Almanac (Senjski zbornik), which in fact, is thanks to Prof. Glavičić, in a very enviable, professional and scientific level the successors of his work endeavour to maintain.
