Art in Croatia
Early Croatian ART: Pre-Romanesque ART in Croatia: Early Croatian Art – Across the coastal regions of Croatia, there are many monuments from early medieval times, dating from the periods of Late Antiquity to Romanesque. This historic epoch in Europe is usually referred to as the Dark Ages, due to the lack of the written documents and monuments, which witnessed it. Political turmoil, wars, migrations, a disintegration of the old order and formation of the new states and nations across Europe marked the era of destruction and creation of new styles

Ivan Mestrovic Foundation – In 1952, a contract of donation was concluded between Ivan Mestrovic and the People’s Republic of Croatia, by means of which Ivan Mestrovic donated to the people of Croatia his family house and atelier in Zagreb (later adapted into an exhibition space – the Mestrovic Atelier), the family villa with ateliers in Split (which later also became an exhibition space – the Ivan Mestrovic Gallery), the sacral and art complex Kastelet-Crikvine in Split, and the Mestrovic family vault – The Most Holy Redeemer Church near Otavice.
