The Danish archeologist and researcher Ejnar Dyggve conducted digs at Solin outside Split in the 1920s and worked for the archaeological museum in Split in 1929-1932. Until his death in 1961, he frequented Dalmatia and carried out archaeological research on several occasions. He was declared an honorary citizen of Split in 1947 and presented his archaeological archives to that city in 1957.
The Danish queen commended the documents about Dyggve and his legacy as a unique source for studying the history of archaeology in Europe.
Croatian Deputy Culture Minister Berislav Sipus described the exhibition and a Croatian-Danish agreement on digitalisation and free access to the entire archives of Ejnar Dyggve as contributions to developing the bilateral cooperation. The agreement was signed today in Split.
Queen Margarethe II and her husband Prince Henrik arrived in Zagreb on Tuesday for a four-day visit to Croatia,
