History of the Green Train Gallery
Exhibitions of various artists, literary evenings, tea parties, concerts of classical music and promotions were held in this unique space in Pancevo. The Green Train Gallery was ceremoniously opened by the famous film director Emir Kusturica, who came with a part of the crew of the film Life is a Miracle. Josip Weber, the author of the exhibition, exhibited models of railways for the purpose of shooting the film, and he also had the main episodic role in this film by Kusturica.
