Sažetak
In 2015, an exhibition was held in the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts Glyptotheque entitled Ejnar Dyggve – Researches
in Dalmatia, held as part of the European Heritage Days in Croatia. It presented the investigations of the Danish architect and
archaeologist Ejnar Dyggve (1887-1961) and presented his research and scholarly interests in Dalmatia and a range of themes
in the European cultural sphere. The exhibition had been mounted in Split in 2014 during a visit of the Danish royal couple to
Croatia. The authors of the exhibition, Anne Haslund Hansen and Vanja Kovačić, presented a problem approach to Dyggve’s
research and the ample documentation that is an invaluable part of the heritage in Croatian archaeology and the history of
architecture and urban design on the Adriatic.
Dyggve arrived in Salona for the first time in 1922, via the Rask-Ørsted Foundation and the Archaeological Museum in Split;
during the period 1929-1932 he lived full time in Dalmatia, and took part in all the most important researches into Ancient, Early
Christian and medieval sites, primarily in Salona and throughout Dalmatia, but also in the southern parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He was an outstanding expert in archaeological topography, an architectural analyst, perfected the methodology of architectural
recording and of the typological reconstruction of buildings.
The exhibition inducted us into the problem areas of the theses that Dyggve erected about pre-Romanesque architecture, still
current today, and set up sound premises on which the conclusions of contemporary investigators are still being founded.
In 1958, Dyggve gave Split his scholarly archive, which will soon be digitised and made accessible to the public. This is a good
example of high quality international collaboration and of the endeavours of Denmark and Croatia to contribute, via culture, to
our common understanding of the European identity.
