About this audio guide
This guide to the Croatian History Museum in Zagreb's Upper Town starts with a collection of nearly three hundred thousand objects and a building that cannot show them. It goes back to seventeen sixty-four and the cavalry officer Sigismund Vojković, who cleared two houses to raise this Baroque palace, then to the theatre nights and hidden servants' stairs of the seventeen-eighties. Best heard on the street outside, facing the sculpted centre of the facade.
