The program started in Heritage Muesum with a children’s workshop Say it to me by Konavle’s proverb where our youngest visitors could recall proverbs that they already know through dance, song and games, but they could also learn new ones. The lecture by Maris Stanović, All Our Years, reminded the public about the history of Heritage Museum, and pictures of the Museum in the Homeland War and after-war renovation into the building we know today were particularly impressive.
