Martyr

12 September 2019 - 31 January 2021 Governor's Palace
Rijeka is the aforementioned D'Annunzio's Martyr, which suffered terror for months, but never in silence. Plenty of women from Rijeka became active and vocal opponents of D'Annunzio and his methods. Their voices still echo through the exhibition at the Governor's Palace.

Borders – Between Order and Chaos

The D’Annunzio’s Martyr exhibition is part of a thematic exhibition cycle on borders that will resume with an important large-scale exhibition entitled Violins Above Borders / Stradivari in Rijeka – Kresnik and Cremona, and conclude with the central and largest exhibition Borders Between Order and Chaos.

The cycle is an integral part of the Seasons of Power flagship of the European Capital of Culture programme. As part of the flagship, Rijeka will introduce Europe to its exciting history permeated with powerful forces that claimed and ruled over the city. However, it is also a European history of conquerors and the conquered and within the context of the cultural programme, it is a flagship that showcases the creative and destructive power that influences cultural and artistic development.
