Yesterday, the Museum of Vojvodina hosted the opening of the exhibition JOSEPH KIS: THE MAN WHO TRANSFORMED BA\u010cKA, by Dr. Mirjana \u0110eki\u0107. The exhibition depicts the late 18th and early 19th centuries and the most significant events in the Ba\u010dka region through the work of one man.

\nHis work and contribution were crucial for the creation of the Great Franz Canal (Ferenc-csatorna), which cut through Ba\u010dka and connected the Danube and Tisza rivers, enabling the indigenous and newly arrived population to live a fulfilling life on the fertile plain of former swamps, marshes and marshlands. The Great Ba\u010dka Canal, as a waterway, enabled the accelerated development of central Ba\u010dka, which would develop into a significant industrial center over time.
\n<\/br>
\n<\/br>
\nAt the opening ceremony, the guests were addressed by the Undersecretary of the Provincial Secretariat for Culture, Vera Koji\u0107, the Acting Director of the Museum of Vojvodina, \u010carna Milinkovi\u0107, and the reviewer Maria Sila\u0111i. The opening of the exhibition about Jo\u017eef Ki\u0161, which is part of the cultural activities of the Provincial Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments Petrovaradin, organized on the occasion of the celebration of its 75th anniversary, was attended by a large number of colleagues, the professional public, and a wider interested audience.

\n<\/br>
\nThe exhibited plans and projects are mostly kept in the State Archives of Hungary in Budapest, and the presented documents, photographs and postcards are owned by state institutions and private collectors from Vojvodina, whom we thank for their cooperation. In overcoming the language barrier, the author received great help from her colleague Leda Schilling, an ethnologist employed at the Intermunicipal Institute in Subotica, and Nada Putica, an ethnologist employed at the City Museum in Sombor. The Public Enterprise \u201cVode Vojvodine\u201d \u2013 Documentation Center \u201cIn\u017eenjer Nikola Mirkov\u201d, Sremska Kamenica, also contributed to the exhibition by providing exhibits from its collections on the water management of Vojvodina, the City Museum in Sombor, with a model of a foot-powered floating dredger, and the Museum in Vrbas, with the Roth family door with a water motif.
\n<\/br>
\n<\/br>
\nVisitors can tour and see the exhibition until April 21, 2026. years.
