The public institution Museum and Gallery Tivat has begun conservation work on the sculpture "The Flock" by the Montenegrin sculptor Rajko Sušić, which is located on Culture Square in front of the entrance to the gallery, in the space of the medieval Buća-Luković summer house.

The sculpture, which represents a motif from marine fauna, was created and installed in 2015 at the initiative of the then director of the Cultural Center. Milena RadojevicMeanwhile, "metal fish," as some in the public call this representative sculptural work made of metal, has become a recognizable feature of this part of the city and a frequent motif used by tourists for photography.

Director of the Museum and Gallery Danijela Djukic She said that this public institution, which was created by segmenting the former unique Tivat Cultural Center, is today in charge of the maintenance and conservation of this sculpture, and that it has received permission from the Administration for the Protection of Cultural Heritage to undertake the necessary conservation work on this work of art that adorns public space.

“The JU Museum and Gallery addressed the Administration for the Protection of Cultural Heritage with a request to issue guidelines and conditions for the implementation of conservation and restoration measures on the sculpture “Jato.” The sculpture is located on Trg od kulture within the boundaries of the cultural property of the Buća - Luković summer residence. Since it is made of metal, we noticed various types of impurities, accumulated dust, deposits of scale and other things, so it needed protection from further deterioration. The Administration assessed that this request falls under the category of regular maintenance and, in accordance with the guidelines, we hired a conservator-restorer Mirko Mijanović i Mirjana Padalica, who is a technician-conservator, that under the supervision of a conservator-restorer Dusice Kovacevic", employees of the Museum, carry out the necessary work," says Đukić.

The deadline for completing the intervention is 30 days.
