Preservation of cultural heritage of the municipality Tešanj

By implementing activities on the revival, preservation and presentation of cultural heritage, museums make a significant contribution to a better understanding of the past and the present and enrich our experience and understanding of human development. Since its foundation, the Museum of Tešanj municipality striving to revive and preserve cultural traditions and wealth. In the few last years, the museum has reached significant results: the renovation of the old city Gradina and Eminaga residence, as well as permanent and temporary exhibitions in the areas controlled by the museum including the old city Gradina.
Municipality Tešanj is rich of cultural - historical resources but they are still not known to the public and they are underutilized, especially in tourism.
With the organization of the pilot event we want to revive and preserve from oblivion pottery craft and pottery products that are typical for Tešanj region, and promote traditional food of Tešanj region. This action should contribute to the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage of the region and BiH.
