Art Pavilion, Zagreb
The Art Pavilion in Zagreb, established in 1898, holds the distinction of being the oldest gallery in Southeast Europe. Furthermore, it stands as the sole gallery in Zagreb that was purpose-built to house large-scale exhibitions. The initial proposal for this gallery's creation was made by Croatian painter Vlaho Bukovac in the spring of 1895.
The gallery boasts a spacious display area covering 600 square meters, yet it does not maintain a permanent collection. Instead, it specializes in hosting unique solo and group exhibitions that showcase significant artistic works and movements from various time periods and styles. These exhibitions feature the creations of both Croatian and international artists.
Over the course of its history, the gallery has organized approximately 700 exhibitions, featuring artists ranging from the Earth Group collective to prominent figures like George Grosz, Henry Moore, Auguste Rodin, Andy Warhol, Mimmo Rotella, and numerous others. Since 2005, an annual tradition has seen the publication of a CD-ROM, typically released around the anniversary of the Pavilion's founding. This CD-ROM offers a virtual tour of the exhibitions held in the preceding year.
Why You Should Visit:
It is a magnificent historical building with beautiful interiors and surrounded by lovely gardens, plus it always has some interesting exhibitions inside. Well worth the ticket price.
