Art Pavilion in Zagreb
Art Pavilion in Zagreb, Art museum in Donji grad, Croatia
The Art Pavilion features Art Nouveau architecture with ornate facades decorated by busts of Renaissance masters Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian.
Hungarian architects Flóris Korb and Kálmán Giergl designed this prefabricated iron structure for the 1896 Millennium Exhibition in Budapest before its transfer to Zagreb.
Since 1898, this exhibition space has presented works by international artists including Picasso, Andy Warhol, Joan Miró, and Alberto Giacometti in its 600-square-meter gallery.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 20:00, with extended hours until 21:00 on Fridays, located near Zagreb Central Station.
The Art Pavilion operates without permanent collections, dedicating its entire space to rotating exhibitions of Croatian and international contemporary art.

Zagreb features an architectural heritage spanning from the Middle Ages to modern times. The Zagreb Cathedral dominates the city with its two neo-Gothic towers measuring 108 meters, while St. Mark's Church displays the city's historic coats of arms on its roof. The Stone Gate, a remnant of 13th-century fortifications, houses a chapel dedicated to the Virgin and Child. The Lotrščak Tower, an old medieval watchtower, still fires a daily cannon at noon. The city organizes its cultural offerings around several institutions: the Broken Relationships Museum exhibits an international collection of objects related to breakups, the Art Pavilion is housed in a building from 1898 dedicated to contemporary art, and the Grič Tunnel, a 350-meter-long shelter built during World War II, now serves as an exhibition space. Maksimir Park extends over 316 hectares with five lakes and a zoo, while the Botanical Garden has collected over 5,000 plant species over 4.7 hectares since 1889. Mirogoj Cemetery, designed by Hermann Bollé in 1876, combines neo-Renaissance arcades with funerary architecture.
