SOUND BITES: ANTUN URBIC "BACKO" (OWNER OF THE MUSEUM).TRANSLATIONS:Antun Urbic, nicknamed Backo, owner of the Museum.1.- The coronavirus crisis destroyed us, because throughout the year we had no visitors. Everything is minimal, there are no tourists, no schools, no groups, so it is a catastrophe and I must admit that we are on the verge of closure. We have all the epidemiological measures, from temperature control to masks and inside we are admitting a maximum number of four families because we have four posts that are 6 meters apart. When someone new comes out, they can come in and everyone moves on to the next position.2.- I can tell you that 5 percent of our visitors are satisfied, 95 percent of them are delighted. There is absolutely no one who has come out and is not happy or disappointed with what he saw. So even though there is no official Advent for them (visitors) our show and how it has been decorated, people are really delighted.3.- This Saturday, people have been waiting in line for an hour and a half and then they told us it was worth it.4.- I've been doing this since I was young. We have been building this model for ten years. At first there were four of us, at one point we were even ten. Now there are only five of us left and how we will move forward is unknown.
