"Geological Treasure of Serbian Land" to open on April 10

The exhibition marks 200 years since the birth of Serbia's renowned scientist Josif Pančić and the International Year of Crystallography.

The exhibition will comprise minerals, rocks and fossils from Serbia and the accompanying documents from the archives of the collection of minerals and rocks that are of historical importance, significant for the very beginnings of the Serbian geological school.

Visitors will have an opportunity to learn the story about the first collection of 500 minerals that arrived in Serbia from Freiberg in 1835, which was then further enriched with the first samples from the territory of the then Principality of Serbia.

Today, the Belgrade-based Faculty of Mining and Geology possesses a collection of minerals and rocks with over 10,000 samples, and a palaeontological collection consisting of more than 20 thousand items.

The exhibition was authored by Alena Zdravković, a curator for the collection of minerals and rocks at the Department for Mineralogy, Crystallography and Geochemistry, and co-authored by Ivan Stefanović, a curator for the collection of the Department for Historical and Dynamical Geology and the Department for Palaeontology, the SANU stated.

The exhibition, which will run through May 28, was organized by the Faculty of Mining and Geology at the University of Belgrade and the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) Gallery of Science & Technology.

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
