Centre for counselling - giving advices to Roma and state institutions in order to establish better communication and improve quality of life of Roma especially children and women.

In the year 2002 we ere given the permission by the Town Museum to open ethno-exhibition. Also assistance of experts in realization of the project was offered. Only in February 2004 our project was evaluated to be of good quality and needed and as such received support from the Ministry of Culture for opening of ethno-exhibition. Part of requested funds were allocated with which we managed to collect part of the exhibits for the future exhibition.

It contains mostly historical documents, theories of the historians as well as overview of culture and customs of Lovari Roma which have been preserved by word of mouth. This is the content of the permanent “Documentary historical exhibition of autochthonous Lovari Roma” which we set up in the premises of the Centre. With this exhibition we want to present to the public the basic history and culture of Lovari Roma and save it from being forgotten.

The exhibition can be seen every working day by announcement and during working hours of Centre of counseling.

The exhibition is covering the time from the start of migration of Roma until today and the present position of Roma on the territory of Republic of Croatia and is divided in parts
