About this audio guide
This guide to Sustipan park in Split centers on the summer of nineteen fifty-nine, when the city voted to tear down one of the most beautiful cemeteries on the Mediterranean, and Dusko Keckemet, a young museum curator, refused to go along with it. You will hear about the sculptors whose work filled the graveyard and the political meeting that sealed its fate. Best heard standing on the open lawn where thousands of graves once lay.
