The gallery 'Krsto Hegedušić' in Petrinja was officially reopened on Wednesday evening after six years of reconstruction following the destructive earthquake in December 2020. The event marked the return of one of the city's most significant cultural landmarks to public life. Minister of Culture and Media Nina Obuljen Koržinek expressed satisfaction at the symbolic return of Krsto Hegedušić, a renowned Croatian painter, to his hometown through this gallery. She highlighted the Ministry’s responsibility for restoring 26 cultural and historical sites in Petrinja, including the gallery, which had been evacuated during the earthquake. The restoration project received €1.9 million in funding, with three-quarters coming from the national budget and the remainder from the European Union Solidarity Fund. The reopening included an exhibition featuring works by Hegedušić, along with other artists and pieces from the family collection of Bernić.
