The Exhibition "Bulgaria and Mosaics" was Presented on the 13. Contemporary Mosaic Festival in Nazano, Italy
The latest exhibition from the "Traveling Exhibitions" program of the State Institute for Culture - "Bulgaria and Mosaics" was presented on 13. Contemporary Mosaic Festival, which took place between May 20-26 in the city of Nazano, Italy. The participation was organized by the Bulgarian Cultural Institute in Rome with the assistance of the State Institute for Culture.
The exhibition was realized by the Balkan Heritage Foundation for the State Institute for Culture under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria in 2023 in cooperation with Bulgarian museums, non-profit organizations and specialists in the field of art studies and archaeology.
The mosaics that the State Institute for Culture is pleased to display through the exhibition have been created by various cultures over the past two millennia. The most numerous are the mosaics from Antiquity (II - VI centuries) and XX centuries - two eras in which this art flourished and remarkable examples of it were created on the territory of modern Bulgaria.
The exhibition aims to present the rich mosaic heritage in Bulgaria through selected details of ancient, medieval and modern mosaics and to highlight Bulgaria's connection with the preservation, research and communication of the mosaic heritage in South-Eastern Europe.
