Like many cultural institutions of our country, we started 2022 with caution, but hope.

The events that took place after February 24 and continue until now have significantly adjusted our tasks and goals for this year, but certainly did not allow us to fold our hands. Instead of the usual thematic events and excursions, we have to fight together with the whole country and we do it in the field that we know best.

Every month was special for us. We did what was necessary, joined in everything that brings our joint victory closer. We would like to share with you the calendar of our achievements for the year 2022, which also happened thanks to your active participation and support.
