Museum night 2020
28/01/2020
The Public Institute of Krka National Park, in cooperation with the Drniš Museum, again this year is taking part in this fun and educational cultural event,
to be held in the branch office of the Public Institute of Krka National Park in Drniš. As part of this event, we will hold the lecture and exhibit Contribution of the Franciscans to conserving the cultural and historical heritage of Krka National Park by Joško Zaninović and Davor Gaurina, and announce the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Drniš Museum. The exhibit will be accompanied by an educational entertainment programme, such as workshops and playrooms for children and a culinary workshop, and the entire event will also be in the rhythm of performing bands.
The first Museum Night event was held in 2005 in cooperation with a handful of museums in Zagreb. Over the years it has since become the most significant event for Croatian museums, which have been building their programmes and attracting numerous visitors to Croatia’s museums and other heritage institutions.
Programme:
6:00 – 7:30 pm Little calligraphers workshop
A children’s workshop on the theme of calligraphy. The objective of the workshop is to acquaint children with the art of beautiful writing with a fountain pen or sharpened stick, and to teach the techniques of embellishment. For smaller children who do not yet know how to write well, colouring books will be prepared in the form of the incunabula kept at the Franciscan monastery on Visovac Islands (such as Aesop’s fables).
