Novo mesto Cultural Heritage Promotion Committee
The most important activity of the Committee, established in 2017, is the efficient and comprehensive presentation of the extremely rich and venerable cultural heritage of Novo mesto and south-eastern Slovenia.
The establishment of the oldest Teresian gymnasium in the then Habsburg monarchy in our Novo mesto represents a particularly noble phenomenon of our cultural heritage. The gymnasium was founded in Novo mesto by Empress Maria Theresa on 8 August 1746, thus satisfying the ardent wishes of the then prominent citizens of Novo mesto and especially the Franciscans of Novo mesto.
Many famous Slovenian writers, poets, scientists, engineers, artists, painters and other creative people studied in our gymnasium.
The Committee pays constant and special attention to the state-of-the-art digitization of our extensive, rich and diverse cultural heritage. Today, the digitization of many activities in the world is of key and crucial importance. This year, our Committee is organizing its fifth professional meeting, its fifth Academy. Many Slovenian intellectuals, eminent scientists, experts, municipality mayors and directors of successful business firms came to our meetings.
Through the effective promotion of cultural heritage, the Committee also wants to comprehensively expand the importance of the sustainable development of modern tourism in these parts of Slovenia and thus contribute its share to the promotion of European cultural heritage.
