“Josip Brunšmid” annual award of the Croatian Archaeological Society for 2020
The author team of the exhibition "VARVARIA / BREBERIUM / BRIBIR – Historical Layers Revealed'' (Nikolina Mađar and Kristian Gotić, curators of the Croatian History Museum and Nikolina Uroda, curator of the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments) was awarded the "Josip Brunšmid" annual award of the Croatian Archaeological Society for 2020.
The exhibition was organized on the initiative of the Croatian History Museum in cooperation with the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments in Split and Šibenik City Museum, and is accompanied by a bilingual catalogue and workbook for children.
Bribirska glavica, as one of the most important archaeological sites in Croatia, is the topic of an archaeological-historical exhibition entitled after the archaeological project Varvaria / Breberium / Bribir, an ongoing research started 110 years ago by Fra Lujo Marun - the father of Croatian archaeology. The title wanted to point out the significance of the site, of its protection and presentation as well as the justification for further research. On the other hand, the subtitle ‘’Historical Layers Revealed’’ symbolically indicates the concept of the exhibition, which, along with a short history of research, fully presents the historical continuity of life on Bribir from prehistory to the late Middle Ages.
The basis of the exhibition is archaeological material found through centuries of efforts of generations of archaeologists, while the archaeological material of the Bribir medieval layer is presented in a broader historical context, through first-class written historical sources and works of art, some of which are exhibited for the first time in a way to form a unique cultural-historical ensemble.
The exhibition opened on November 21, 2019 at the Croatian History Museum, but its planned duration was interrupted by the devastating earthquake on March 22, 2020. Due to the damage caused by the earthquake Croatian History Museum has been since closed to the public until further notice.
