The Dresden Diary of Anka Krizmanić

Zagreb City Museum

The Art Pavilion in Zagreb has opened the exhibition "The Dresden Diary of Anka Krizmanić" at the Zagreb City Museum, which gives a deeper insight into the work of one of the most important protagonists of Croatian modern art, with a special emphasis on her education and training in one of the key centers of the European avant-garde at the beginning of the 20th century.

Until now, within the framework of Croatian expressionism, consideration of Anka Krizmanić's oeuvre has remained limited to media and techniques in smaller formats that were less appreciated during the first half of the 20th century and primarily associated with the so-called female sphere of creativity.

This exhibition adds to this significant part of the artist's oeuvre her paintings in oil and pastel, as well as previously unknown drawings and graphics, in which an exceptional sensitivity to the most current social and aesthetic issues is visible. These works were created between 1913 and 1920, during and immediately after her studies in Dresden, and form a thematically and formally complete whole, through which Anka Krizmanić proved herself to be an original and authentic modernist and expressionist artist.

New Permanent Exhibition Highlights the Greatest Successes of Croatian Sport

Croatian Sports Museum, Zagreb

The Croatian Sports Museum, a national museum institution that collects, preserves, and presents the history of physical education and sport in Croatia, opened its first permanent exhibit on January 27.

The story of the foundation and development of sport in Croatia is presented in the basement. It includes objects from the period of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, especially items connected to the Croatian Falcon—the first organized sports society in Croatia, modeled after the Czech movement—and the life and work of Franjo Bučar, a pivotal figure in the development of all Croatian sports.

The international success of Croatian clubs and national teams is also highlighted, as well as athletes competing in para and deaf sports.

The most significant results achieved on the greatest sports stages, the Olympic Games and World Championships, are presented on the ground floor.
