‘Mountain of Culture’ is a project that links cultural institutions that foster the same or similar values and which, each in its own way, deals with heritage – cultural, cultural-historical, natural, archival, literary, theatrical or musical – or with the restoration of the movable and stationary heritage. Through the synergy of all participants, the project’s goal is to offer themes and events to Rijeka residents and all lovers of culture that will occasionally – in search of new audiences – depart from comfort zones by bringing together the apparently incompatible, in order to contribute to an active perception of culture, underscore its significance in everyday life and make it so that heritage and care for it become a part of the culture of living for all of our citizens.
In just under a month and in over twenty-five different programmes intended for a diversity of interests, knowledge levels and ages, the hill on which the Governor’s Palace (i.e., the Museum and its garden) rests will become a place for meetings, entertainment, exchanges of experiences, socializing and learning from each other, a place to gain new insights that will reinforce old friendships and foster new ones and at which heritage will be presented in a new, leisurely and playful manner.
Exhibitions and dancing, performances and lectures, guided tours and children’s workshops and so much more will underscore the accessibility of heritage content and its significance, but also the need to appreciate and safeguard heritage as inestimably valuable evidence of our own identity.
