The exhibition Diary of a Century, through documentary photographs and a short narrative form (extracts from the diary of a rural teacher), shows some segments of personal and public social events and circumstances in the life of a family in a mountain village in western Serbia during the 20th century.
The intersection of research up to now has shown that traditional music of Zlatibor area is an interesting cultural phenomenon. It refracts everyday life of the population of this region - human notions about religion, superstition, moral, etc. Specific historical, cultural, social and economic circumstances have succeeded in preserving original elements and forms in one part of the folk music; on the other hand, there appear some new categories – new musical instruments, group instrumental music making and a new category of players – the professionals.
