Galerija Mestrovic (Mestrovic Gallery)
Galerija Mestrovic (Mestrovic Gallery) Review
A modern villa surrounded by extensive gardens, this building designed by Ivan Mestrovic was his summer residence during the 1920s and '30s. Some 200 of his sculptural works in wood, marble, stone, and bronze are on display, both indoors and out. There is a small open-air cafe in the garden with a lovely sea view.
Kastelet. Entrance to the Galerija Mestrovic is also valid for the nearby Kastelet, housing a chapel containing a cycle of New Testament bas-relief wood carvings that many consider Mestrovic's finest work. Setaliste Ivana Mestrovicá 39, 21000.
