Exhibition "125 Years of National Academy of Art in 125+ Frames"

On 28 September 2021, the National Academy of Art will celebrate its 125th anniversary with the photo exhibition "125 Years of National Academy of Art in 125+ Frames". The project concept focuses on the development of a well-structured and well-thought-out exhibition solely through the use of photography as a document of its time, which visually restores, as far as possible, the historical picture of the institution during its existence. The research on and promotion of the preserved photographic heritage related to the higher education institution and its presentation in public, once again provides an opportunity for the expert and general public to get acquainted with its long rich history.

 

The exhibition will be realised as part of the programme of the National Academy of Art in connection with the celebration of its 125th anniversary, as a result from the open competition for scientific and artistic-creative activities of the National Academy of Art in 2021.
