On Saturday, 15 September, a photographic exhibition “Legends of the Mediterranean” was opened at the gallery of the Split City Museum, as the first event envisaged by the programme of the 2018 Coast Day. The exhibition presents the work of Stipe Surać, renowned Croatian photographer. At the opening of the exhibition the audience was addressed first by Ms Željka Škaričić, PAP/RAC Director, who pointed out that PAP/RAC strived to promote better, sustainable uses of the coastal resources, and to preserve the natural beauty, landscape diversity and identity of the local population, all described by this exhibition.
