About this audio guide
This guide to the National and University Library in Zagreb follows Adam Baltazar Krčelić, an eighteenth-century canon of the city's cathedral who spent his later years at war with his own bishop. You'll hear about his Habsburg sympathies, the enemies they earned him, and the memoir a censor took a pen to. Best heard facing the glass cube from the forecourt.
