FLUXES
organizers: Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche (National Research Council), University of Bologna, City of Solin, Split-Dalmatia County Development Agency, Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka
Link: http://myportheritage.eu
As part of the TEMPUS international project being conducted in three pilot regions in Italy and Croatia, the virtual exhibition Fluxes, dedicated to the ports of Rijeka, Ravenna and Solin, has been posted on the project’s web platform.
The exhibition underscores the historical aspect of the development of these ports and – across different eras – their impact on their immediate surroundings, the cities of which they are a part.
TEMPUS – TEMporary USes as start-up actions to enhance port (in)tangible heritage is a project that gathers nine partners from Croatia and Italy with the aim of regenerating abandoned urban port zones through the use of neglected cultural heritage. The project is aimed at linking the partner cities and their ports and creating new spaces for social life that will encourage creative business, as well as entrepreneurial initiatives in culture and tourism.
The value of the project is €2,706,920.00, of which 85% is non-refundable, co-financed by the European Union through the transborder cooperation programme INTERREG V-A Italy-Croatia 2014-2020. Project implementation began on 1 January 2019 and continues to June 2022.

As part of the programme for Rijeka 2020 – European Capital of Culture, the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka presented an online exhibition: “Borders: Between Order and Chaos.” The exhibition deals with the problem of borders – real ones, the ones we impose upon ourselves or those imposed by our environment, way of life, traditions… Even though they still exist when we pay them no mind, we believe that the “new normal” caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has made many people aware of certain borders we had never thought about before.
The exhibition was funded by the City of Rijeka and Primorje-Gorski Kotar County.
EXHIBITION
VIOLINS BEYOND BORDERS/STRADIVARI IN RIJEKA – KRESNIK AND CREMONA
organizer: Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka
co-organizers: Consulate General of the Republic of Italy in Croatia (Rijeka), Glazbeni Festival Kvarner d.o.o. (Opatija)
partner: Museo del Violino (Cremona, Italy)
exhibition conceived by: Tamara Mataija, Fausto Cacciatori, Tea Perinčić
The exhibition will remain open until 30 April 2021
Part of the preliminary programme for the exhibition “Borders – Between Order and Chaos” includes the observance of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Dr Franjo Kresnik (1869-1943), one of the greatest Cremonese lutherie experts of his time. Kresnik dedicated over 40 years to the study of bowed string instruments, particularly those made in the workshops of Antonio Stradivari and Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù.
A film was shot to accompany the exhibition “Violins Beyond Borders/Stradivari in Rijeka – Kresnik and Cremona,” a joint presentation of the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka and the Museo del Violino. Antonio Stradivari, Guiseppe Guarneri del Gesù and Franjo Kresnik have left behind instruments which are admired to this day, while generations have enjoyed the music that they make. This is why we are calling on everyone to enjoy the music and this film that recalls our great fellow citizen.

EXHIBITION
D’ANNUNZIO’S MARTYR – L’OLOCAUSTA DI D’ANNUNZIO
organizer: Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka
exhibition conceived by: Tea Perinčić and Ana-Maria Milčić
exhibition designed by: Sanjin Kunić and Nikolina Radić Štivić
the exhibition will remain open until 30 April 2021
The exhibition is part of the European Capital of Culture 2020 programme The Age of Power, and it opened on 12 September 2019 to mark the one-hundredth anniversary of D’Annunzio’s occupation of Rijeka. The exhibition was set up as part of the permanent display on the first floor of the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka. The exhibition’s creators decided to portray the sixteen months of the dictatorship established in Rijeka by Gabriele D’Annunzio, the Italian poet, soldier and nationalist, through the prism of women – in both the figurative and literal senses, through a cross-section of specific historical events and testimony and by presenting several works by Italian futurists which reflect the spirit of this era.
To accompany the exhibition in the Museum, we have also provided our visitors with the possibility of virtual guidance through it.
