Main image

The Art Pavilion in Zagreb is a long-established exhibition hall in the city centre that hosts temporary art exhibitions. The building dates to the late 19th century and is a noted cultural venue in Zagreb.

Rotating exhibitions present a wide range of visual arts including contemporary shows, retrospectives, and curated themed displays. The pavilion operates as an exhibition venue rather than a permanent collection museum, so displays change regularly.

Erected at the close of the 19th century for large public exhibitions, the pavilion has been used since as a principal venue for temporary art shows in Zagreb. Its architecture and central location have made it a landmark of the city’s cultural life.

The pavilion stands near King Tomislav Square in central Zagreb, directly across from the city’s main railway station, making it accessible to visitors arriving by train.

  • Date and location: Constructed for the 1898 exhibition and located near King Tomislav Square, opposite the main railway station in Zagreb.
  • Use: Functions as a major temporary exhibition space for Croatian and international contemporary and historic art.
