About this audio guide
This guide to the Meštrović Atelier in Zagreb's Upper Town follows the sculptor Ivan Meštrović into the autumn of nineteen forty-one, when Croatia's wartime fascist regime turned its attention to the most famous artist living in this house. It touches his friend the painter Jozo Kljaković, a prison on Savska Street, and eight plays about Michelangelo written where no writing should have been possible. Best heard in the atrium, among the marble and the Brač stone pillars.
