Museum Night - Citius, Altius, Fortius

In the year of the European Handball Championships and the Winter Olypmics in South Korea, Museum Night is dedicated to sport.

The Croatian Museum Association on Friday 26 January 2018 is organising the 13th Museum Night.

Museum Night 2018 is being approached as a dynamic event with the Olympic motto “Museums and Sport – Faster, Higher, Stronger… Citius, Altius, Fortius.” The selection of sport as the theme for Museum Night in 2018 is aimed at promoting discussion on issues related to sporting collections and museums in Croatia. The inspiration arose from the current moment: the European Handball Championships will be held in Croatia from 12 to 28 January, while the 23^rd Olympic Winter Games will be held in Pyeongchang county, SouthKorea, from 9 to 25 February 2018. In this sporting atmosphere, the Croatian Museum Association is sending a message to sports people, sports fans, museum experts and visitors alike: faster, higher, stronger! Of course, with the important note that on Museum Night, as well as in sporting contests, it’s the taking part that counts. The creators of the exhibition concept are Dubravka Osrečki Jakelić and Vesna Jurić Bulatović.
