The large exhibition, entitled: “From Klović and Rembrandt to Warhol and Picelj” will be on display at the Museum of Arts and Crafts until January 31st.

Sundays are dedicated Family Days with Bućan’s Žar-ptica theatre, which features creative workshops for children and adults, such as “Games with graphics”. The ticket price for each family with three or more members is 50 kuna. Apart from these creative workshops, Thursdays will also feature “Meetings at the Museum”, which will include lectures by the authors of the exhibition.

This exhibition, “From Klović and Rembrandt to Warhol and Picelj” at the Museum of Arts and Crafts, has been organized with the cooperation of the National University Library in honour of the 90th anniversary of its print collection’s existence. Visitors will have an opportunity to view more than a thousand print works by Croatian as well as foreign artists, which were created during the period between the 16th and 20th centuries. Along with Rembrandt, whose remarkable graphic work could already be viewed at the Museum of Arts and Crafts in late December of last year, when an exhibition of 103 of his etchings was organized in cooperation with the Old Gallery of the National Joanneum Museum of Graz, visitors will now also be able to view many other works by various graphic masters. Among them is Croatian painter and miniaturist Julije Klović, who was in contact with many great Renaissance painters and was nicknamed “The Michelangelo of Miniature” for his talents. Nowadays, many of his miniatures and manuscript illuminations are carefully kept in museums worldwide.
