PODGORICA - Montenegro Travel Guide | Around The World
Podgorica is the capital and largest city of Montenegro. The city was also called Titograd (Титоград) between 1946 and 1992 when Montenegro was part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), in honour of Josip Broz Tito.
Podgorica's favourable position at the confluence of the Ribnica and Morača rivers and the meeting point of the fertile Zeta Plain and Bjelopavlići Valley has encouraged settlement. The city is close to winter ski centres in the north and seaside resorts on the Adriatic Sea.
The Podgorica Municipality contains 10.4% of Montenegro's territory and 29.9% of its population. It is the administrative centre of Montenegro and its economic, cultural and educational focus.
Podgorica is located in central Montenegro. The area is crossed with rivers and the city itself is only 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of Lake Skadar. The Morača and Ribnica rivers flow through the city, while the Zeta, Cijevna, Sitnica and Mareza flow nearby. Morača is the largest river in the city, being 70 m or 230 ft wide near downtown, and having carved a 20 m or 66 ft deep canyon for the length of its course through the city. Except for the Morača and Zeta, other rivers have an appearance of small creeks. The richness in bodies of water is a major feature of the city.
In contrast to most of Montenegro, Podgorica lies in a mainly flat area at the northern end of the Zeta plain, at an elevation of 40 m (130 ft). The only exceptions are hills which overlook the city. The most significant is 130.3 m (427 ft) high Gorica Hill, city's namesake, which rises above the city centre. The other hills include Malo brdo (little hill, 205.4 m or 674 ft), Velje brdo (big hill, 283 m or 928 ft), Ljubović (101 m or 331 ft) and Dajbapska gora (172 m or 564 ft). In the main, these are too steep for development and thus limit the city's expansion, especially to the north. However, urbanization has been encroaching on the lower slopes of the hills since the 1990s. Podgorica city proper has an area of 108 square kilometres (42 sq mi), while actual urbanized area is much smaller.
Podgorica is home to many Montenegrin cultural institutions and events. It hosts the Montenegrin National Theatre and a number of museums and galleries. The Montenegrin National Theatre is the most significant theatre not only in Podgorica but in all of Montenegro. Podgorica is also host to the City Theatre (Gradsko pozorište), which includes the Children's Theatre and the Puppet Theatre. Although not as rich in museums and galleries as the historic royal capital Cetinje, there are several noteworthy museums:
The Podgorica City Museum (Muzej grada Podgorice) preserves Podgorica's rich heritage. Founded in 1950, it has four categories: archaeological, ethnographic, historical and cultural-historical. It houses artefacts which date back to the Roman and Illyrian eras.
The Archaeological Research Centre (Centar za arheološka istraživanja) was founded in 1961. Its mission is to gather, classify, restore and display archaeological sites.
The Marko Miljanov Museum (Muzej Marka Miljanova) in Medun shows life in 19th century Montenegro.
The Natural History Museum (Prirodnjački muzej) displays specimens of Montenegrin flora and fauna. This museum has no exhibition space of its own, despite many proposals and initiatives to build one.
There is a notable art gallery in the Dvorac Petrovića (Petrović Castle) complex in Podgorica's largest public park. King Nicholas's castle, Perjanički Dom (House of the Honour Guard), castle chapel and surrounding buildings were converted to an art gallery in 1984. Since 1995, it has been part of the Modern Arts Centre (Centar savremenih umjetnosti) and houses approximately 1,500 works of art. The historic Cinema of Culture (Kino Kultura), which was founded in 1949, was closed in November 2008 due to continuous financial losses it generated. It was the only cinema in the city for 6 decades. The building of the former cinema will be converted to host the Podgorica City Theatre. Shortly after its closure, a Ster-Kinekor (later acquired by Cineplexx) 6-screen multiplex cinema opened at Delta City shopping mall.
A significant cultural institution of over fifty years' standing is the Budo Tomović Cultural-Informational Centre (KIC Budo Tomović). It is a public institution which organizes various artistic events, including Podgorica Cultural Summer (Podgoričko Kulturno Ljeto), FIAT – International Alternative Theatre Festival (Festival Internacionalnog Alternativnog Teatra), DEUS – December Arts Scene (Decembarska Umjetnička Scena).

Cetinje : The Gallery of Fine Arts (1)
The Gallery of Fine Arts became the Museum of Fine Arts of Montenegro in 1970s. Its holdings contain some 3,000 items, including some masterpieces of contemporary Yugoslav and Montenegrin fine arts. The artistic creation of the first half of the 20th century is represented by the works of artists educated in Belgrade, Roma, Vienna, Prague, and Paris, which may rightfully be said to belong to the European Modernism.

Vojo Stanic - Maestro di Felicità
L'Ulisse Gallery Contemporary Art in collaborazione con Gayo Gallerie di Podgorica (Montenegro) presenta dal 12 maggio al 12 luglio 2011 una personale dell'artista Vojislav Stanic, considerato il miglior interprete della tradizione pittorica del Montenegro.
Stanic lavora come scultore professionista fino al 1963, quando abbandonando questo modulo espressivo decide di dedicarsi esclusivamente alla pittura. Tra il 1958 ed il 1970 vive e lavora tra Parigi e Roma, dove ha modo di avvicinarsi al movimento surrealista di Dalì e Magritte prima ed alla scuola metafisica di Carrà e De Chirico poi. Nel 1997 è di nuovo in Italia, invitato alla XVLVII biennale di Venezia.
Carlo Ciccarelli, dell'Ulisse Gallery ricorda il lavoro di questo valido ed eclettico artista che già dagli anni '70 mostrava un'ampia padronanza del disegno e della struttura compositiva, mai soddisfatto delle sue raffigurazioni della realtà. Per questa ragione a distanza di oltre 35 anni dalla sua parentesi romana l'Ulisse Gallery Contemporary Art in collaborazione con Gayo Gallerie allestisce un' antologica composta da 35 opere, ripercorrendo la parabola artistica di Stanic dagli anni '60 sino ad arrivare agli ultimi lavori, già protagonisti di un'importante retrospettiva presentata al museo Puskin di Mosca nel 2009.
Come scrive Costanzo Costantini nella sua prefazione al catalogo:
...E' difficile trovare nel mondo creativo contemporaneo una folla così varia e vasta, cosi bizzarra e eterogenea di personaggi, se non nei portentosi laboratori degli affascinanti creatori di immagini del ventesimo secolo, Picasso, de Chirico, Matisse, Fellini, Chagall, Delvaux, Ejzenstejn, dei disegnatori e caricaturisti, Daumier,Grosz, Maccari, Enrico De Seta, il decano dei disegnatori del Marcaurelio, o dei grandi artisti dei secoli passati, Piero della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, Tiziano, Rembrandt, Bosh. L'arte non può essere moderna. L'arte torna eternamente alle origini, diceva Egon Schiele.
La mostra si inaugurerà alla presenza del sindaco di Podgorica Miomir Mugosa, del Ministro della Cultura Montenegrina Branislav Micknovic e di eminenti personalità della diplomazia, dello spettacolo e dello sport, tra cui il numero uno del tennis mondiale Novak Djokovic e il campione della Roma Mirko Vucinic.
Design in Montenegro
Young people with lots of experience in the creative industries have decided to go the distance and take an active part in establishing flourishing creative industries in Montenegro. Producer Sanja Jovanović, graphic designer Nikola Latković, architect Dijana Vučinić, multimedia artist Marko Milošević and audiovisual producer Biljana Vušović have joined their forces to run an NGO called Nije greda. The name is idiomatic but can be roughly translated as 'no problem'.
Montenegro's creative industries have still some way to go. Currently, they tend to lie in the shadow of classical art forms such as painting, theatre, film. The basic problem is said to lie in the fact that a strong force, capable of bringing all those dealing in this area together and helping them, has not yet existed in Montenegro. The NGO Nije greda is potentially one such force.
As its first activity, Nije greda brought the annual exhibition of the Art Directors Club in New York to Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. Thanks to this, it was possible to present the highest international standards in advertising, interactive media, design and communications to Montenegrin audiences. After this positive experience, the members of Nije greda are looking forward to achieving more.
Kotor - the culture center of Montenegro
Kotor - a typical medieval town with narrow streets and stone buildings. In Kotor houses the Maritime Museum of Montenegro, whose exhibition tells about the development of navigation in the Boka Kotorska throughout its history. Here you can see portraits of sailors and ship models, interior of the captain's homes and the trophy collection of weapons seized in sea battles and old maps of the Adriatic Sea.
For centuries, the city is the headquarters of the ancient sea of fraternity Bokelska mornaritsa (Montenegro - Bokeljska mornarica) - professional society sailors Bay of Kotor, which since 1859 operates as a memorial Organization for keeping traditions. Each year the sailors organize the festival Bokelska night.
Since 1997, the city has a non-governmental cultural organization «EXPEDITIO».
Every year that suit a variety of cultural festivals, such as:

Description
Fighting illicit traffic of cultural property in South-East Europe (Language : Montenegrin)
This 15 minutes video, realized by the UNESCO Office in Venice, aims at raising public awareness on the fight against the illicit traffic of cultural property in South-East Europe. While all the countries from the region have ratified the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property, many archaeological sites, including underwater sites, museums, galleries or places of worship, continue nowadays to be exposed to theft and illicit trade. Mobilizing public opinion, sharing information and good practices through regional and international cooperation, is now of necessity.

[한국어 정보]
코토르 성벽 밑에는 수백 년 동안 이어져온 재래시장이 선다. 오랜만에 볕도 나고, 토요일이어선지 제법 사람이 많다. 몬테네그로 시장에선 생고기를 거의 볼 수 없다. 고기는 주로 소금에 절여 저장하기 좋게 말린 것들이다. 아마도 험한 바다와 산악 지역에서의 생활에 유리하기 때문인 것 같다. “이것은 호밀에 담근 양 치즈고, 이건 밀에 담근 염소 치즈입니다. 곡물 속에 3개월 정도 보관하면서 말리죠. 치즈를 보관하는 몬테네그로의 전통 방식입니다. 올리브유에 치즈를 보관하는 것도 마찬가지죠.” 가게 주인들이 건네는 음식들을 맛보다 보니 출출할 틈이 없다. 풍성한 먹거리만큼이나 넉넉한 인심을 뒤로하고 코토르 만을 떠난다.
[English: Google Translator]
Under the city walls of Kotor stands yieojyeoon traditional market for hundreds of years. Sunburn is also a long time Nago on Saturday followed a prophet quite a lot of people. In Montenegro we can hardly see the meat market. Dried meat is mostly good things to store pickled in salt. Probably due to the glass to life in the sea and steep mountain regions. This is sheep cheese and dipped in Rye, this is a goat cheese dipped in wheat. Mali's three months while in storage grain. The traditional way of Montenegro to hold the cheese. It sure does to keep the cheese in olive oil. There is no break to go hungry owners saw them handing taste of food. As hearty food and leaving behind only the generous hospitality of Kotor.

Под градских зидина Котора стоји ииеојиеоон традиционални тржиште стотинама година. Сунбурн је такође дуго времена Наго у суботу следи пророк доста људи. У Црној Гори тешко можемо видети на тржиште меса. Суво месо је углавном добре ствари да сачувате кисели сољу. Вероватно због стакла на живот у мору и стрмим планинским областима. Ово је овчји сир и пала у Рие, ово је козји сир потопљен у пшеници. Писите је три месеца док је у складиштење жита. Традиционални начин Црне Горе да одржи сир. Наравно да не да задржи сир у маслиновом уљу. Постоји није пауза гладни власнике видела их предају укус хране. Као срдачно хране и остављајући иза себе само великодушан гостопримство Котора.
