The History of Dubrovnik’s Tramway

Posted on by

To celebrate the 115th anniversary of the Dubrovnik tramway a major exhibition has been organised by Dubrovnik Museums in the Rector’s Palace.

The accompanying catalogue tells the tramway’s story from the initial concept up until the recent full restoration of a handful of tramcars and trailers that have survived. Over 300+ pages it details every possible aspect of its history from the original blueprints to the tickets, to the signs and even the conductors’ apparel. This is surely the most comprehensive collection dedicated to one of the city’s most memorable periods.

It was my honour to be the English language translator for the exhibition panels and catalogue for such an iconic page of Dubrovnik’s history.

The exhibition is open to the public from 27th August 2025 until 31st March 2026.

Well worth a visit!

City Museum of Rijeka catalogues

Posted on by

The new City Museum of Rijeka at the Sugar Palace was opened in November 2020 – you can see some of the opening event here. I was the official translator for the English texts included in the exhibition. Late last year the Museum’s English versions of its extensive catalogue and handy guidebook were printed.

English versions are now available.

It was an honour to be involved in the editing and summarising of existing texts to produce these two fabulous editions. They are richly illustrated and superbly designed. The author of the original Croatian texts is the Museum’s director Ervin Dubrović and the designer is Vesna Rožman. The catalogues has more than 340 pages, whilst the guidebook has 144.

The English edition of the Museum’s new catalogue features the contents of the permanent exhibition now in the renovated Sugar Palace building in Rijeka.
The Museum’s new handy guidebook is a compact version of the main catalogue.

Catalogue ISBN: 978-953-8303-09-8
Guidebook ISBN: 978-953-8303-10-4
