About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb stops in front of a Gothic winged altar from the fourteen-nineties and the two saints standing in its central niche. It follows the beliefs farmers and winegrowers of central Europe pinned on Saint Urban and Saint Barbara, a legend of a father and a storm, and a feast day watched for omens. Stand close to the altar's central niche while you listen.
