“The other side of History” project is based on heritage interpretation. It introduces visitors to the social and historical atmosphere of the 18th century Dubrovnik Republic. Considering that the Dubrovnik Museums own a rare historical instrument-fortepiano built by Viennese builder Anton Walter in 1790, the project contains specialised costumed performance on period instruments with storytelling.The aim of this project is not just to present and highlight the values and richness of both tangible and non-tangible cultural heritage, but to also immerse visitors into the special historical environment of a reconstructed event in the Rector’s Palace. Therefore, Concert by the Rector’s which is implemented as an additional cultural- touristic programme of Dubrovnik Museums offers live performances in the presence of the Rector himself who is the host to the event. Performed both in Croatian and English, it brings the story of the life of composers whose works are performed as well as the history of the Dubrovnik noble families and their relations to European cultural centres of the time. Listening to the music performed on the original period instrument, accompanied by the degustation of the preferred sweet of the Dubrovnik nobility, the visitors are becoming a part of an exclusive cultural event which connects musical performance with its socio-cultural context.
