Have you ever heard about the Gračanica Monastery

Have you ever heard about the Gračanica Monastery, a masterpiece of the Serbo-Byzantine architecture, and its amazing frescoes?

In February a virtual exhibition dedicated to the Gračanica monastery closed its doors after commemorating the 🎊700 anniversary of the painting of the church's interior and the end of the restoration works undergone between 2010 and 2018.

The exhibition allowed visitors to know more about the architecture of the building (⛪the only example of a double inscribed cross in the plan of the church in the Byzantine Empire) as well as its 🎨 paintings and their eight-year-long restoration process.

For Jana Zarkovic, the author of our latest featured article, the closing of this exhibition in Serbia is just an opportunity for the history and legacy of this monastery to continue to be promoted in Europe and beyond 🇪🇺.

🗨️It was a pleasure for FRH to chair this meeting, learn about the latest initiatives of @europanostraeu, @europeana_eu, Michael Culture Association, @eurfashionheritage, Architects' Council of Europe and @eurocities.eu, and chat with many other organisations that work to support Europe's cultural heritage.

🪟Is stained glass an endangered craft in Europe

🪟Is stained glass an endangered craft in Europe? With the number of glass suppliers dwindling and material prices rising, we have interviewed stained glass artist Rachel Mulligan, based in the UK 🇬🇧, about the challenges she faces in the sector.

🖌️Rachel is currently working on a commission for a stained glass window for All Saints Church in Benhilton. Her previous work includes numerous local commissions and a few museum exhibitions.

👧 Our conversation also touched on the importance of preserving and passing on knowledge about heritage crafts, a topic we want to emphasise during the #EuropeanYearOfSkills.
