About this audio guide
This guide to the National Museum of Modern Art in Zagreb goes back to November 1884, when the building was a brand-new private palace and its owner, Baron Ljudevit Vranyczany, took in Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer as his house guest. It follows the receptions, banquets and toasts that filled these rooms while the city celebrated the gallery next door. Stand in the park facing the facade, where you can see the balcony on marble columns.
