In the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka, the exhibition “Meet the Frankopans” was opened, which was represented by the cultural-tourist route The Routes of the Frankopans of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and the Museum.
Within the exhibition, visitors could get acquainted with the cultural-tourist route The Routes of the Frankopans, all locations of the route, interpretation centres, multimedia content and many activities carried out through this large county project. In addition, as a special curiosity, the costumes of Juraj Zigman specially created for the Frankopan Paths were exhibited in Rijeka for the first time.
From Dujam to Fran Krsto, from Krk to Wiener Neustadt, from 1118 to 1671… More than five and a half centuries of Croatian history is inconceivable without the Frankopans. There is no such important social and political duty and role that they did not perform; they were princes, bans, viceroys and warriors, art supporters and poets, and ultimately political revolutionaries in search of a better world. They were followed by codes, statutes and other important civil documents, recorded in the Croatian language in the Glagolitic alphabet. In their lineage is recorded a series of 114 Frankopans in 17 generations. Here is just a part of their story, and to continue, follow The Routes of the Frankopans.
The exhibition was opened until March 20, 2022, and since the entrance to the Museum is free every Thursday, expert guides were organized in four terms. Thank you all for coming, we hope we have inspired you and that you will continue to explore The Routes of the Frankopans!
