On Thursday, March 31, curator Helena Puhara held a lecture on the Ceremonial curtain of the Croatian National Theatre at the House Bukovac. In February 1895, Bukovac received an official letter from the government to make a ceremonial curtain for the theatre with the theme Glorification of the Illyrian Revival as a continuation of Dubrovnik's education, which would later be given a slightly shorter name - Glory to them.

The House Bukovac keeps the official documents from the Royal Croatian-Slavonian-Dalmatian Provincial Government as well as that of the administration of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb. The creation of this new image of national identity was presented through archival material, sketches, and photographs. Scenes depicting the cultural and literary past of Croats through the characters of the Illyrians, in this case, the bearers of the Croatian national revival, who worship the old Dubrovnik poetry personified through the figure of Ivan Gundulić. The choice of characters that were presented in the picture was chosen by Milivoj Šrepel, while Vlaho Bukovac, together with Stjepan Miletić and Ksaver Šandor Gjalski, were actively involved in creating a display of historically staged utopian vision. The curtain was designed to revive the dormant country in the struggle for autonomy, artistic progress, and above all, the strengthening of national identity.
