Polyptych of Girolamo da Santa Croce in Vis
The Parish Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Vis on the island of Vis keeps fragments of a polyptych that once adorned the main altar of the church. Its author is the Renaissance painter Girolamo da Santa Croce. Surviving panels of the polyptych, a large central composition depicting the Sacred Conversation being among them, along with the parts of wooden polyptych architecture were restored in the Croatian Conservation Institute in 2001 and 2002.

The first official textile repository in Croatia has been set up in the Ludbreg Conservation Centre. This is a collection of vulnerable or valuable textile artefacts, which are kept under suitable conditions with a view to preventing their deterioration. The Centre collects items which should become the core of a future textiles museum, subjects them to emergency conservation procedure and prepares basic documentation concerning such procedures.
