Strossmayer Gallery: Strossmayer Gallery

In our peripheries, we've all heard of Bruegel, da Vinci, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Caravaggio...I could go on with enough names to fill a textbook here. But who's heard of Benkovic, Piazzetta, van Ruisdael or Gros? Here's a hint: my spell-check knows how to properly spell (and doesn't underline) the first batch of names. The second batch...not so lucky. Welcome to the list of artists that did not go down in supermodel history but nonetheless are considered masters (and well-deservedly). You've probably seen most of them in other museums (especially in Europe) en route to La Primavera or the Mona Lisa, but in Croatia they take center stage.

Strossmayer's Old Masters Gallery is part of Zagreb's Croatian Academy of Science and Art, and if you stop through this capital on your way to the beach, you'll see a delightful mix of Western and Eastern Europe, complete with Gothic, Prague-like spires and enough pubs to make Dublin jealous. This gallery, devoted to the lesser-known masters of the 14th through 19th Centuries, is perfectly within the city's vibe. The glass atrium lets amazing amounts of sunlight in that contrast with what is mostly deeper and darker-hued art held in ten impressive halls. Like some museums, this one takes alunch break between 1 pm and 5 pm Tuesdays (and is only open from 10 am to 1 pm Wednesday through Sundays), so it's great to come here on the two bonus hours earlier in the week. You can see an amazing sunset from the courtyard and head off to dinner afterwards. Be sure to also check out the Baska Tablet. Dating from the 1100s, this was taken from the island of Krk (also not a typo, spell-check!) and is one of the oldest artifacts containing the Croatian language. That alone is worth the entry fee of 10 Kuna, which is slightly less than $2 US Dollars.
