The Zadar City Museum Department of the Zadar National Museum invites you to the captivating exhibition “Traces of Time – Restored and Donated Artworks as Keepers of Zadar’s Memory”. The grand opening will take place on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM in the beautiful atrium of the Governor’s Palace.
Discover the unique historical journey of Zadar, a city profoundly shaped by its past. During World War II, Allied bombings devastated nearly eighty percent of its historic core, leading to the irreparable loss of countless buildings, artworks, family heirlooms, and precious everyday objects. This destruction also erased numerous layers of memory that had defined the city’s cultural identity for generations.
The “Traces of Time” exhibition offers more than just a display of meticulously restored and generously donated works of art and furniture. It is an immersive invitation to connect with the past, to appreciate the invaluable contributions that have enriched our museum collections, and to contemplate our collective responsibility in preserving shared memory. Each rescued object, every restored painting, and every donated piece of furniture represents a vital fragment returned to the ongoing story of Zadar – a city whose rich history, despite all adversities, continues to unfold through these remarkable objects that have defied the passage of time. Don’t miss this poignant and insightful cultural experience!
