The Mayor of the Municipality of Nikšić, Marko Kovačević, and the project manager of Nikšić 2030 – European Capital of Culture, Mato Uljarević, met yesterday in Ljubljana with academician and architect Marko Mušič, at the premises of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SAZU). Mušič, the author of the original architectural design of the “Dom revolucije” (House of the Revolution) in Nikšić, was briefed on the current plans for the reconstruction of this monumental building, which is set to become one of the city’s key cultural centers and a focal point of the European Capital of Culture 2030 program.
During the meeting, the discussion focused on models for revitalizing the building, phases of construction work, and spatial solutions that would transform the House of the Revolution into a modern Center for Digital Arts, featuring a contemporary art gallery, a multifunctional hall, creative hubs, and other facilities that will provide the city with a completely new cultural identity. It was emphasized that, for the first time in nearly 50 years since construction began, the issue of this unfinished complex will finally be resolved, giving it a purpose aligned with contemporary cultural practices.
The representatives of the Municipality of Nikšić invited Academician Mušič to visit Nikšić in the near future to initiate more concrete cooperation and consultations as part of the preparations for the implementation of the ECoC 2030 project.
This marks an important step toward defining the future appearance of the House of the Revolution, which will be among the most significant projects in Nikšić during the city’s preparation for the European Capital of Culture 2030 title.
