It was a period in which we implemented numerous dreams: renovated the building, improved storage and display conditions, enriched the collection with 3,330 works, made 306 exhibitions and published 224 publications. However, the most important step forward was that we managed to achieve numerous international partnerships and initiate cooperation and exchange of exhibitions with numerous European museums. The jubilee is truly a moment to celebrate and proudly highlight everything achieved because a lot of good things have been done, and we can say that we have become the pride of the nation,\u2019 said <strong>Tijana Palkovljevi\u0107 Bugarski, PhD,<\/strong> in an <a href=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/2022\/10\/14\/tijana-palkovljevic\/\">interview for Visit Novi Sad<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40684\" src=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2022\/10\/V.Velickovic-October07-076-1.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2022\/10\/V.Velickovic-October07-076-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2022\/10\/V.Velickovic-October07-076-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2022\/10\/V.Velickovic-October07-076-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Gallery of Matica Srpska is truly the pride of the nation. It is one of the oldest and richest national museums, founded in 1847 in Budapest as part of Matica Srpska, as the oldest literary, scientific and artistic institution. It has been located in Gallery Square since 1968 and is one of the must-see institutions for Novi Sad tourists. The benefactor Sava Tekelija bequeathed his entire property to the Matica Srpska, which included a valuable collection of portraits, and afterwards the gifts continued and the collection grew. This is how the Museum of Matica Srpska was born, which began operating in 1933, when its collections \u2013 artistic, archaeological, numismatic and ethnographic \u2013 were presented to the public. Later, all the collections except the art collection were transferred to the Vojvodina Museum, and the art collection was the foundation of the newly founded institution, called the Gallery<\/p>\n<p>of Matica Srpska. Today, the institution, which is the custodian of its rich cultural heritage, is proudly celebrating the 175 years of existence with a unique programme that the audience of Novi Sad can only experience in the city of culture, which deservedly held the title of European Capital of Culture.<\/p>\n<p>Author: Marina Mari\u0107<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Vladimir Veli\u010dkovi\u0107<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of marking the 175th anniversary of the founding of\u00a0Gallery of Matica Srpska, the national museum institution will present a new monograph Pride of the Nation: 175 Years of The Gallery of Matica Srpska, by\u00a0Tijana Palkovljevi\u0107, PhD, today at 7 p.m. The monograph, through a large number of documentary photographs and reproductions of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":44097,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[293,310],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
