The Shadow Is Seen by My Eyes, the Light Is Seen Only by My Heart
History of Švicarija
Permanent exhibition
MGLC Švicarija
Švicarija has always known how to surprise, connect and boldly reshape its purpose. Many individuals have taken diligent care that the light in it has never been completely extinguished. The unique past of Švicarija, which was granted the status of a cultural monument of local importance in 2013, is summed up by the guiding principle of community, art and nature, which will continue to illuminate its work in the future.
