Thematic domains:
- Research and Innovation
he Natural History Museum of Montenegro has published the Journal of science and popular-science „NATURA MONTENEGRINA“ since 2001 in electronic format and has distributed its CD edition. At its beginings the journal was primarily designated for the increasing number of young Montenegrian scientists, mostly biologists, as a medium that presented their scientific findings. Now, the Journal becomes an important source of scientific information not only from the Balkan region. The biodiversity of Balkan Peninsula is still the least explored part of Europe. Therefore, we believe that journals like this one, that originate in this region, should be committed to present data about our biodiversity to the rest of the world. The Journal accepts original scientific and professional articles in the fields of research, protection and popularization of natural values.
- Education
The Natural History Museum of Montenegro is the organizer of a large number of educational exhibitions, a participant in the "night of researchers" event and a large number of publications. Despite the lack of its own exhibition space, the museum, through good inter-institutional cooperation with other cultural institutions, presents material from its collections to citizens throughout Montenegro through thematic guest exhibitions. Special emphasis was placed on municipalities from the north of the country.
- Culture
Special emphasis was placed on municipalities from the north of the country. Cultural institutions have the task of researching, preserving and presenting in a modern way exactly those specifics that define the authentic Montenegrin cultural identity. Since the special task of the Natural History Museum is to promote the peculiarities of the natural and cultural heritage of Montenegro, it is inevitable that such a representative cultural institution of Montenegro.
- Digitalisation
Until now, the museum has already organized multimedia events, which combined visual effects, animated content and museum exhibits. In addition, the digitisation includes the collections, so that their content will be available in the future to any scientist around the planet, without the need for physical presence.
