On the occasion of the birthday of Mija Šiša Konavljanin, we will gather at the County Museum of Konavle on Thursday, December 7^th at 7 pm for the lecture "Life and work of Mijo Šiša."

The lecture is devoted to the entire oeuvre of the Šiša Gallery's art collection, from his earliest works, through large compositions, to ethnographic themes that Šiša dealt with intensively in the second half of his life. An overview of this wide range of artistic interest is summarized through the selection of the art work that is the property of the heirs and through the display of the Gallery of Mijo Šiša Konavljanin, and it is also a guidance for knowing the life and work of this artist.

Interactive guidance "Terra sigillata from Cavtat sites".

We invite you to interactive expert guidance through the exhibition "Terra sigillata from Cavtat localities", which will be held on Saturday, December the 9^th at 10 a.m. in the Department of Archaeology and Monumental Heritage in the Franciscan Monastery in Pridvorje. It is an exhibition that was conceived as the first in a series of programs under the common name "Newly Discovered Epidaurus", within the framework of which Museums and Galleries of Konavle plan to process and present the findings from research conducted in the last ten years in the area of Cavtat, the Roman Epidaurus, to the public

Terra sigillata is a term that includes a wide group of fine Roman ceramics, smooth or relief-decorated, whose main identifying characteristic is a bright red coating. It is characterized by high-quality raw materials as well as a specific method of production.

You will find out how and where this type of pottery was produced, how it all came to Epidaurus through trade connections, and how many of them there are in the localities of Cavtat in our archaeology department!
