The exhibition "Segment of our nature" was opened in the Native Museum in Pljevje, where some of the most attractive exhibits from the collection of the Prorodnjak Museum of Montenegro were presented.
"The exhibition was organized on the occasion of the International Day of Museums on May 18, and was organized under the auspices of the International Museum Council of Ikoma since 1977 with the aim of affirming museums and their role in promoting cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue. At the same time, the Night of Museums event is also celebrated, when museums as institutions which deals with culture, promotion, preservation of cultural heritage, in the service of the development of society in a special way open its doors until late in the evening, and give visitors the opportunity to get acquainted with the various activities of the museum", said the director of the Museum in Pljevlja, Dejana Drobnjak.
With this display, she said, the museum adapted to this year's Museum Day theme, which is determined anew every year and for 2023 is entitled "Museums, sustainability and well-being".
The director of the Natural History Museum, Nataša Čađenović, said that through this exhibition visitors will get to know only a fraction of the diverse ecosystems and numerous species that inhabit our country.
"We know that the biodiversity of Montenegro is extremely large even in the European framework. We presented the ecosystem of Skadar Lake, the richest in resources and biodiversity. We all know its trademark, the pelican, to which this lake is the westernmost point it reaches. Apart from pelicans, the lake is inhabited or visited by over 200 other species of birds. Although we decided to show the most attractive types of fauna, mammals and birds, the forest is not only a habitat for numerous hunting game, but also for other living creatures that only together provide a functional whole that has the ability to recover after negative human activities," said Čađenović .
