Abstract
As an innovative museum practice, ecomuseums use holistic approach to heritage. The Batana Ecomuseum has the exhibition area where you can get the basic knowledge of shipbuilding, fishing and other elements of Rovinj’s traditional culture, public space, or Rovinj’s waterfront, where batana boats are built and repaired, spacia where Rovinj’s fish dishes are tasted and numerous events which include the wider landscape and deal with immaterial and material maritime culture.
The paper provides the overview of the history of shipbuilding in Rovinj with the emphasis on building batana boats. The author has focused on the presentation of the specific skill of building by mentioning the boat’s parts and the activities for which it was used in Rovinj’s variant of the speech of Istro-Romans. In this way she has wanted to point out the multiplicity of immaterial manifestations of the maritime heritage. Finally, the modern challenges in preserving traditional shipbuilding and developmental potential in the context of intersectoral collaboration and connection of cultural, economic and educational activities have been analysed in the paper.
