Gradnja Umjetničkog paviljona: Okrunjeni trg (skica za povijest gradnje umjetničkog paviljona, 1896-1898)

The Art Pavilion is one of the four in which Croatian culture and economy were presented at the 1896 Millennium Exposition in Budapest that was similar to spectacular world exbhibitions. While the Pavilions of forestry and economy, as well as the small liquor tasting shop were built by Croatian architects Herman Bolle, Vjekoslav Heinzel and Honigsberg and Deutsch, the art pavilion was designed by Hungarian architects Floris karb and Kalman Giergl. The iron skeleton made by the Danubius Factory was clad in brick walls in a classicist secession style. They planned the facade in the manner usual for museums and galleries, with a projecting central part covered by a dome, an auter staircase, a main portal, and two side wings. Ceiling lights were installed in the central hall and in the wings. Walls were decorated by ornamental sculpture in the style of decorative fin-de-siecle historicism. The exterior decorative sculpture was planned in the context of patriotic sculptures erected on squares, which was carried out only partially. The iron structure was shipped to zagreb and placed on the axis of the east arm of the squares encircling the center of down-town Zagreb. The reconstruction wos assigned to the Viennese studio of Fellner and Helmer, the well-known theater builders. Keeping the basic spatial plan, they made the building more monumental by means of an elevated foundation which on the south side opens into a ground floor in the central section below the balcony, due to the depression in the terrain. All parts of the building blended into harmonious whole, particularly the dome that archieved its true dominant position and the busts of Michelangelo, Tizian, Raphaele, Carpaccio, Medulić and Klović. The entire decorative decorative repertoire in the interior, concentrated in the vestibule and the domed hall, consisted of allegories of historical and artistic themes and motifs. Both iconographic programs belong to the symbolic comlex of the 19th century museums architecture. The Art Pavilion, set in a baroque-type park with the athedral towers as backdrop, remains a classic landmark of Zagreb.
