This event is not only an exhibition of paintings and sculptures but also a testimony of how credulous people can be blinded. It demonstrates how the black market works in unscrupulous ways, deceiving both benevolent and malevolent customers in the race for profit. This exhibition presents a specific form of crime and aims to raise awareness of buying expensive artworks of all types and to oppose the black market. The Police Museum collection was initiated around ten years ago through collecting counterfeit artwork that was brought by some police officers after final court judgments. The systematic collection began in 2009 when the Office for Organised Crime from Criminal Police Directorate managed to get permission to donate counterfeits to the Museum after final court judgments, what replaced the previous practice of counterfeit destruction. Nowadays, this sub-section of the Criminalistics Collection consists around 6o exhibits, mostly oil paintings and several sculptures. The majority of counterfeits are the works of Edo Murtić, Zlatko Prica, Ljubo Ivančić, Mersad Beber, and to a lesser extent, those of Dimitrije Popović, Đuro Pulitika, Vasko Lipovac, Ivan Lacković Croata, Miljenko Stančić, Vladimir Kirin, Oskar Herman, Boris Bućan, Ivan Rabuzin, Ivan Getaldić, Ferdo Kovačević, Dragica Cvek Jordan, and Nikola Reiser. There are also three counterfeit sculptures of Dušan Džamonja, and one of Vojin Bakić. In addition to the works of Croatian authors, there are also counterfeit works of Salvador Dali and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The exhibition will be set up at the Le Meridien Lav hotel during the conference. Speakers Peter Tarlow, PhD, USA Founder and president of the American tourism association Tourism & More Inc.
