of International and National Committees of ICOM and ICOMOS,
members of Europa Nostra, to the representatives and curators and other
staff
of the museum, conservation or heritage organisations, to the friends of
museums and heritage
Zagreb, May 2004.
Dear colleagues,
"THE BEST IN HERITAGE" is a major international forum which provides a
promotional spotlight on the most professionally creative and
educational heritage developments all over the world. Each year we
provide an international showcase and presentation forum for over twenty
award-winning and innovative projects, and present them to the wider
professional public and the international media. It is a unique
gathering of heritage expertise and international exchange of ideas.
This is not a competition. We do not evaluate these projects or give
prizes; - we just present their excellence and share it with the
interested, ambitious colleagues.
The gathering provides an international platform of promotion for the
most innovative and successful heritage developments internationally.
Last year we were 112 from 29 countries (including Brazil, Canada,
Iceland, and New Zealand). The participants took the op****tunity to see
the latest developments and hear the latest thinking on the public
presentation of all aspects of heritage in the community. The projects
presented are representative of the best work in museums, art galleries,
landscape interpretation, historic buildings, communication,
presentation and publication.
In keeping with the principal concern of our excellent patrons, we feel
that the results of major creative achievements deserve further
attention and wider dissemination as learning "by the power of example".
The event is held every September in the beautiful and historic city of
Dubrovnik (UNESCO World Heritage Site), with the follow-on event
HERITOLOGIA as International Forum of Heritage Studies where we show and
discuss innovation and alternative. To obtain further information, or to
book your place, please visit our web site
http://www.TheBestInHeritage.com
Our site is the only database of the awarded projects and even the last
moment information of such projects in your country or your professional
field might, by their quality and significance, be of interest to us.
Similarly, we would be interested to have your recommendations of recent
innovative and alternative projects of quality (not necessarily the
prize-winners).
We look forward to seeing you in Dubrovnik in September. Those who come
regularly already know: Same time, same place, different excellence!
Sincerely,
Professor Tomislav Sola
European Heritage Association
