Zagreb - Art Pavilion

(Local Name: Umjetnicki Paviljon) Zagreb's Art Pavilion (Umjetnicki Paviljon) was established at this location following its debut at the international exhibition in Budapest in 1896. It was constructed in Budapest and following the exhibition, the iron frame work was transported to Zagreb where it was constructed in its current form by Viennese architects Helmer and Fellner. The building is a yellow, Art Nouveau style structure that is used for changing exhibitions of contemporary art. In front of the Art Pavilion is a piece by Croatian artist Ivan Mestrovic. It is the oldest exhibition hall of its kind in Croatia and the only building designed for hosting large exhibitions. The pavilion faces Trg Kralja Tomislava and a statue commemorating the first King of Croatia.
