International Museum Day and European Night of the Museum 2016

18. 5. 2016. 20International Museum Day – Museums and Cultural Landscapes

- For the International Museum Day the Franciscan Museum and Gallery Gorica-Livno will organise a presentation of protected cultural monuments and cultural landscapes in the municipality of Livno on a large video screen in the town centre of Livno. The presentation will involve historical buildings, archaeological sites and protected landscapes. The presentation will take place several times during the day, at the times when most visitors are on the main square.  

The goal of this project is to move museum events out in the open, into the urban centre of town. We will present the protected cultural and natural heritage from the wider area of the Livno Municipality. In this way, we will connect cultural heritage with contemporary ways of communication. Thus the time set aside for drinking coffee on the main square will also be dedicated to cultural heritage and cultural landscapes. The museum’s event will impose on the citizen’s daily routine.

20. 5. 2016. European Night of the Museum

- In the European Night of the Museum, on the 20th May 2016, the FMGG-Livno will prepare an exhibition in which all interested parties can contribute and participate in its creation. The exhibition, entitled Exhibition of Musical Instruments and Music Media, would encompass traditional and contemporary musical instruments, sound reproduction devices (radio, record player, cassette player, CD player), and sound reproduction media, that is, sound carriers (vinyl records-LP, singles, magnetic tapes, compact cassettes, video cassettes, CDs). The exhibition can be supplemented with posters.

The history of musical instruments dates back to ancient times, while during the last 140 years the ways of reproducing music changed and quickly went down into history. In addition to presenting the performance and reproduction of music, whose development is directly rooted into society on a global as well as local level, the purpose of the exhibition is to include the visitor into its creation by lending some of the above to the Museum for the requirements of the exhibition. The exhibition will include data and stories shared by the visitors.  In the week following the Night of the Museum visits from schools will be organised, including a presentation of music reproduction media that are already a mystery for today’s youth; for example the sound of a record player from the beginning of the 20th century or the sound of a cassette player from the 1980.
