The project MONET was funded under the first call of the Interreg IPA Cross-Border Cooperation Program Italy-Albania Montenegro. The main objective of the project is to create a network of museums and cultural sites and to promote natural and cultural heritage through the valorisation of museums in terms of management, infrastructure and service. In addition, the project will result in an improvement of the tourist and cultural offer in the program area, as well as an increase in the number of visitors and tourists.
The Ministry of Culture of Montenegro is a leading partner in this project, while the other partners from Italy are the Pino Pascali Museum, ARATRO University of Molise and the Region of Pula, and from Albania the Ministry of Culture and the Marubi Photography Museum. The associated partner is the Municipality of Lecce.
