This cache has been archived.

Cenarius: Hi DanaSuperStar,

Unfortunately there's been some continuing issues with this cache and there is no reaction from the owner. Since the cache no longer meets the Guidelines requirements, I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you think you have legitimate reasons for lack of maintenance and want to restore the cache in the near future, please let me know as soon as possible by the email provided in my profile. The message must include the GC code and the name of the cache. If the cache meets the requirements of the Guidelines and the reasons for unarchiving are justified, I may unarchive the cache.

IMPORTANT:
In case of permanent archiving of the cache, the owners are obliged to remove everything that they have placed on the field in relation to the cache (container and all placed waypoints).

Thank you for your understanding and best regards.

Geocache Description:


Ovo malo slavonsko selo čini posebnim što je u njemu 15. kolovoza 1883. godine rođen Ivan Meštrović, hrvatski kipar svjetskog glasa.

Nakon godinu dana života u Vrpolju, s roditeljima se vratio u svoj dalmatinski zavičaj, selo Otavice.

Vrpolje s ponosom čuva uspomenu na velikog umjetnika. Za kiparova života u Americi uspostavili su kontakt i upoznali ga s namjerom o izgradnji spomen doma i tako 5. kolovoza 1969. počinje izgradnja Spomen galerije, a 3. lipnja 1972. (10 godina nakon kiparove smrti) je svečano otvorena sa stalnom izložbom njegovih radova.


Danas se izložba sastoji od 35 skulptura, 16 kopija listova litografija, te većeg broja dokumenata i fotografija koji govore o životu i radu Ivana Meštrovića.

S obzirom da sam i ja rođena i odrasla u Vrpolju iznimno mi je drago objaviti svoj prvi keš i također postaviti prvi keš općenito u Vrpolju u čast ovom velikom umjetniku.

Sretno s potragom 😊

 

 

Vrpolje - Ivan Meštrović Memorial Gallery

interesting fact that makes this small Slavonian village so special is that Ivan Meštrović, a world-renowned Croatian sculptor, was born in here on August 15th, 1883.

After a year of living in this village, he returned with his parents to Dalmatia, the village of Otavice.

Vrpolje proudly preserves the memory of the great artist. During the sculptor's life in America, they established contact and informed him of the intention to build a memorial home, and so on August 5th, 1969, the construction of the Memorial Gallery began, and on June 3rd, 1972 (10 years after the sculptor's death) it was inaugurated with a permanent exhibition of his works.

 

Today, the exhibition consists of 35 sculptures, 16 copies of lithograph sheets, and a number of documents and photographs that speak of the life and work of Ivan Meštrović.

Since I was also born and raised in Vrpolje, I am extremely glad to publish my first cache and also set up the first cache generaly in Vrpolje in honor of this great artist.

Good luck with the search
