CROATIAN ART EXHIBIT AT CANON HOUSE OFFICE ROTUNDA

        The Croatian Democracy Project is mounting an exhibit of 
photographic art reflecting life in Croatia at the Rotunda of the 
Cannon House Office Building on Capitol Hill from April 5th to the 
12th.

        The exhibit, sponsored by the Representative Dana 
Rohrabacher of California, is designed to show the landscapes, 
cultural institutions, people and scenes of daily life in the 
Republic of Croatia.  This photography includes works that 
illustrate the architectural achievements of the Croatian people 
and reflects their unique and eclectic heritage from ancient to 
contemporary times.  The museum-city of Dubrovnik, often called 
the pearl of the Adriatic Sea, is featured.

        The exhibit comes at a tragic time as war has inflicted 
tremendous damage to much of Croatia's cultural and architectural 
heritage.  The exhibit strives to simultaneously transcend the 
physical devastation by portraying the natural beauty of the 
Croatian landscape and the achievements of its multifaceted people 
while fully capturing the grim realities of war.

For more information on the culture and architecture of Croatia 
and on war damages call Ms. Katherine Rosich at (202)547-6099.
