The exhibition of tourist guides
from the funds of the National Library of Montenegro “Đurđe Crnojević” entitled
“Centuries Preserved for the Future” was opened last night. It was organized in
cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Media as part of the European
Heritage Days 2022.
This year's theme of this
international event is “Sustainable Heritage”, where the emphasis is on
preserving the wealth of cultural heritage. Montenegro, although its area is
small - 13,812 km2, is characterized by an immeasurable wealth of relief,
climate, natural and cultural diversity. Tourist guides are a nice and useful
way to point out that richness and to present the cultural and touristic values
of our country in a quality way. Our exhibition is divided into several parts,
so visitors have the opportunity to look at those tourist guides that refer to
the whole of Montenegro, individual ones for cities and national parks, as well
as a couple of cities’ monographs. Almost all Montenegrin cities are
represented. More than 100 guides are on display.
The oldest tourist guide we have
is from 1901 and it is a tourist guide for the city of Cetinje, in French. The
author of the guide is Milan Pavlović, and the translation into our language is
the work of Ivona Jovanović.
The exhibition was opened by the
director of the National Tourist Organization of Montenegro, Mrs. Ana Tripković
Marković and prepared by employees of the National Library, Milenija Vračar and
Iva Vujović.
