January
The Kastav Regional Museum Collection, a branch of the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka, is re-opening its doors to visitors after renovation. The history of Kastav and the wider environs (Kastavština) is presented in the permanent display in three thematic units: The Origin of Kastav, Culture and Education in Kastavština, and Life on the Border.
The first theme presents the emergence of the initial settlement and the development of the town of Kastav over time. The second is dedicated to education, Kastav’s cultural associations and the era of the national awakening in Kastavština. The third highlights the partition of the region after the First World War and its plight in the Second World War and the casualties suffered by many Kastav natives in fascist and Nazi camps.
The exhibition “From the Museum’s Time Machine” will be installed in the foyer, presenting the Collection’s first opening in 1981.
The project has been financed by the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and the Town of Kastav.

The exhibition “Childhood Behind the Iron Curtain” takes us back to the 1970s and 1980s and halts at the brink of our childhood world’s collapse, a time of “great longing” for the material goods from the other side of the “curtain.” This exhibition is about children, who grew up under the sway of Josip Broz Tito’s cult of personality, but also under the influence of Western European and American heroes from comics, cartoons and movies.
