This monumental round building, positioned at an exclusive locality is a genuine urban point of high value in terms of identification and symbolism for Croatian capital, Zagreb. It was built (1934-38) as an art gallery according to an entry project made by Ivan Meštrović, one of the greatest Croatian sculptor's of all time. Meštrović's Pavilion is an exceptional achievement of European architecture. A modern rotunda of stereo-metric purity was built twenty years before infamous Frank Lloyd Wright's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (1959) in New York City. |
