First museum-gallery institution in the area of todays Town of Kaštela was Studin Gallery, registered at the County Commercial Court in Split on 5 February 1988. Planned working of leader of this institution allowed it to grow into the Regional Museum of Kaštela in 1991 that was reorganized in 1999 into the Museum of the Town of Kaštela. Gallery still operates as a separate part of museum. By establishing the Studin Gallery in Kaštel Novi the wish of Marin Studin, the sculptor, came true twenty six years after his death. It was established in artist’s birth place in the ambiance of Ćipiko Tower that he always marked as frame to his sculptures. By establishing separate section for Protection of Cultural Heritage KUD Kaštela, systematic gathering of his art works began. Searching for his works that were decaying in the attic of house at Ulica prvoboraca No. 15 in Split after his death, we managed to get the information that those artworks are in the Museum of Revolution in Split. Based to written statements of Studin’s family and friends, which state that the artist himself wanted his works to be exhibited in his birth town, Museum of Revolution had approved transfer of 22 sculptures to Kaštel Novi. The same year (1984) after the transfer of exhibits, the exhibition was organized in the Tower of Ćipiko in Kaštel Novi. From 1984 to 1986 the Tower of Ćipiko’s attic was adapted for the permanent display of Studin’s works. Exhibit area for permanent display of Studin artworks is on the third floor of the tower. Wooden reliefs are placed on stone walls and free sculptures form a circle in the central part of exhibit area. Despite the fact that this place was given historical frame where we should have placed the exhibition without any changes, that did not diminish the value of exhibited sculptors. Moreover, one gets the impression that this permanent collection of Marin Studin, which was opened by Vjeko Omašić, professor of science, along with the leader of collection Ankica Babić in 1986, symbolically gave the sculptor back to his place of birth Kaštela, to its vineyards and olive groves, its fishermen and peasants, that he loved so much and presented in his works with great skill and love – “among his own” is the title of one of his most beautiful reliefs. Let’s not forget that the artist spent his time in Wienna, Paris, London, Zagreb and Beograd but his heart always yearned for his home land. He died in Split, and if his wish had been honored he would have been buried in Kaštela. Decision to establish Studin Gallery was made on 7 July 1987 by its founders: Assembly of the Town of Kaštela, SIZ of Culture of the Municipality of Kaštela and KUD “Kaštela”, and by registering it into the register of County Commercial Court in Split on 5 February 1988 the establishing of the gallery was completed as first museum professional institution of culture in the area of Municipality of Kaštela. Formal Decision to commence the work was issued by the Republic Committee for Education, Culture and Physical Education of the Republic of Croatia on 9 June 1988 based on the Report by Committee of Museum Advising of Croatia which stated that all conditions to commence working were fulfilled. According to Studin’s wish, which had to be honored in order to keep the collection in Kaštela, we had to display exhibits in the Ćipiko Tower, a castle from the beginning of 16th century in the historical core of Kaštel Novi. Architectonic reconstruction and new content made this tower into the object of events, center the whole community gravitates to. Further working of the institution was regulated by Act on Museum Activity. Its work consisted of constant gathering of exhibits, their professional and scientific processing, public display and registration into the Register of Monuments of Culture. At the moment when the idea of need to protect movable cultural heritage in Kaštela developed, the work of Studin Gallery was the encouragement for further gathering of objects of our cultural heritage which was implacably estranged and destroyed. Foundation of the Municipality of Kaštela in 1986 as independent administrative unit separated from Split, in the area rich with cultural heritage, created many possibilities developing professional cultural institutions for valorization of that part of artistic creation inside the scope of Kaštela’s micro entirety. The area between Trogir and Split was of semi-urban type having some elements of rural character, although the culture of living in urban zones by the sea (communities developed at the end of 15th and beginning of 16th century) was always at least with the number of residents on the urban level. This is the area where it is common for residents, regardless the education, to grow wine grapes, olives and other cultures, spending their lives alongside the walls of many Roman Rustic Villas, old-Croatian churches, Renaissance summer houses, Baroque palaces, rich church treasuries and vast cultural heritage. Trogir and Split, two town centers, have as a matter of fact until twenty years ago acted as centers that used to “clean” this area from cultural contents and cultural information, turning it into their outskirts. Storerooms of their museum institutions are full of museum material from this area which, preserved in this way, provided not true information about the area they were taken from and its historical and cultural identity. Bureaus for Protection of Monuments of Culture did not succeed in preventing private and social wild construction in protected areas, they did not stop the devastation of urban cores where some castles became rubbish dumps, nor did they stop the construction of certain industrial plants on archeological sites. Therefore it was necessary to establish the institution that will with its work, if not stop then at least diminish those negative tendencies on this area, co-ordinate the working of institutions for protection in Split and also become the cultural-informational center, the source, but at the same time the accumulating place of cultural information. Thanks to all attempted activities in period from 1988 to 1991 (hiring appropriate professionals and directing their work toward forming of the archeological, ethnographic, cultural and historical collection, accepting Project on listing and protection of sacral treasures from Kaštela’s parishes from the Institute for Cultural Monuments Protection of the Republic, initiating protection of immovable monuments in Kaštela), Gallery developed into the Regional Museum of Kaštela in 1991, a more complex type of museum organization, more appropriate museum form for protection of complete heritage of Kaštela. Inside the Museum the gallery acted as special part spreading its activities by collecting, protecting and presenting of Modernism artworks but also the contemporary art too. The headquarters of the Museum was still the Ćipiko Tower in Kaštel Novi. At the moment of Municipality of Kaštela’s administrative transformation into the Town of Kaštela, the Regional Museum of Kaštela was re-registered as Museum of the Town of Kaštela in 1999, having its headquarters in Vitturi Castle in Kaštel Lukšić. Museum was transferred inot this restored building in 2001, along with all its formed collections. Study on development of museum activity in the town and profile of this museum institution, the permanent display of Museum in the Viturri Castle was anticipated and realized and museum collections were to be policentrically positioned in three of Kaštela: Kaštel Sućurac, Kaštel Kambelovac, and Kaštel Novi. Complete collection of Marin Studin stayed within the fundus of the Town Museum till today, as a part of Department for Modern and Contemporary Art, not displayed, in the storage. It was withdrawn from the Ćipiko Tower in Kaštel Novi in 2001 when the object was return to its owner. The Museum of the Town of Kaštela is a respectable cultural institution. Qualified professionals present training for all types of work that museological science asks from them. The museum structurally holds nucleuses of future specialized museums that will surely be formed in the future in this area. Kaštela belongs to the form of a large town (second town in size in Split-Dalmatian’s County) and its population rapidly increases. A value is required.
