Divna Gačić - Animalia et populus

Nakon prve postavke u prostoru „Atrijum” galerije Biblioteke grada Beograda,u petak, 26. septembra u Salonu Narodnog muzeja Zrenjanin, sa počekom u 19 časova, svečano će biti otvorena izložba „ANIMALIA et POPULUS – životinje i ljudi – suživot posvedočen arheološkim zapisom”.

Povodom Godine arheologije 2025, izložba je upriličena sa ciljem da se široj i stručnoj javnosti prezentuje arheološka građa koja prikazuje raznoliku faunu, tj. predmete sa motivima životinja prikazanih verno ili stilizovano, u različitoj formi (posuđe, terakote, nakit, novac, mozaici...), materijalu (glina, kamen, kost, ćilibar, metal..) i koji su korišćeni u dugom vremenskom periodu, od mezolita do poznog srednjeg veka. Arheološki nalazi pružaju nam svedočanstva na osnovu kojih, na našem prostoru, motive životinja u materijalnoj kulturi možemo pratiti od praistorijskog razdoblja mezolita, iz kog potiče posebno značajni nalaz prve monumentalne ribolike skulpture, otkrivene u okviru kulture Lepenskog Vira u Đerdapskoj klisuri.

Izložba predstavlja rezultat saradnje više muzejskih i naučnih institucija u Srbiji kao i brojnih stručnjaka. Autor i idejni tvorac izložbe je Divna Gačić.

After the first exhibition in the "Atrium" area of ​​the Belgrade City Library gallery, on Friday, September 26 in the Hall of the National Museum Zrenjanin, starting at 7 p.m., the exhibition "ANIMALIA et POPULUS - animals and people - coexistence evidenced by the archaeological record" will be officially opened.

On the occasion of the Year of Archeology 2025, the exhibition was organized with the aim of presenting to the general and expert public archaeological material that shows a diverse fauna, i.e. objects with animal motifs depicted faithfully or stylized, in different forms (dishes, terracotta, jewelry, money, mosaics...), materials (clay, stone, bone, amber, metal...) and which were used over a long period of time, from the Mesolithic to the late Middle Ages. Archaeological findings provide us with evidence on the basis of which, in our area, we can trace animal motifs in material culture from the prehistoric Mesolithic period, from which the particularly significant find of the first monumental fish-like sculpture, discovered within the Lepenski Vir culture in the Đerdap Gorge, originates.

The exhibition is the result of the cooperation of several museum and scientific institutions in Serbia, as well as numerous experts. The author and creator of the exhibition is Divna Gačić.
