About this audio guide
This guide to Lauba in Zagreb follows Tomislav Kličko, an importer of everyday goods who poured part of his fortune into contemporary Croatian art and turned a nineteen ten cavalry riding hall into a home for it. It touches the building's past as an Austro-Hungarian arena and a weaving mill, the childhood ring of trees in Vrbovec that gave it its name, and an art auction held in October twenty nineteen. Best heard outside, facing the black-painted walls.
