The making of Betina gajeta scale model

Read to me!
We have joined the national campaign “Read to me” so we’ve read several stories to the kids in the museum this morning. They told us they love reading very much and their parents read stories to them too. For the occasion we borrowed some children’s stories from the library and decorated the museum a little bit. The children told us they loved the stories we’ve chosen for them ❤️, it was very illustrative, and they would definitely come for a visit again! They took a look arround the museum afterwards as well!
Night of Museums 2017
This year’s event Night of Museums was successful in our Museum. Over 400 visitors came to see the Museum’s collection followed by the event programme, exhibition and the concert.

Just after the opening we’ve had a bus full of visitors from Dubrovnik who came to see the Museum’s collection with the guidance of our curator. They really…
