The guided tour "Weather Forecast for Yesterday" will be led by Danijela Vlašić from the Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) and Ivana Golob Mihić, museum educator at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMSU). Approaching from their respective fields – meteorology and art history – they will analyze selected artworks and engage in dialogue about different perspectives on nature in art.

The discussion will cover topics such as atmospheric conditions, climate change, and pollution affecting weather patterns, with a special focus on the Adriatic and Mediterranean regions. The artworks will serve as a starting point for connecting scientific facts and artistic expression, exploring how artists perceive and respond to environmental changes.

A strong educational component is central to this tour – through an accessible and interdisciplinary approach, participants will gain new insights into climate and environmental issues, learn basic meteorological concepts, and recognize how these are reflected and interpreted in art.

This STEAM activity is intended for a general audience, demonstrating how natural sciences and the humanities can meaningfully intersect, offering a deeper understanding and awareness of key social and ecological challenges.
