After the train museum I went for a wander round Zagreb. I was slightly worried about filling the whole day, as my sleeper wasn’t until 23:00. It turned out there was plenty to do. I really liked Zagreb; it didn’t feel wild, but felt very pleasant. There was lots going on.<\/p>\n

TBH I’m not that sure what I was expecting. I guess echos of the civil war were still in my head to some extent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I *think* this is an art gallery, but I didn’t go in it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These next few are from an art gallery (but not the one above). It was called Moderna galerija, and featured post 1900(?) Croatian artists. It ended up being a really nice gallery, with a nice mix of styles and media.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These next few are of the main market.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This was from inside the cathedral:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the guide books I’d read recommended the Gallery Me\\'{s}trovic – he was a sculptor from the early 1900s. I liked his work, but it was rather more religious than I normally go for.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Views from the ??? tower. They fire a cannon from it every day at noon, so the church bells can syncronise themselves (apparently the cannon guy phones the speaking clock \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tesla graffito – which leads us on to (another) geeky outing today. The building itself is lovely – 1950’s wood construction. It was built for an expo, and is now listed.<\/p>\n

There were (unsurprisingly) lots of Tesla things, though I was unfortunately too late for the high voltage demonstration.<\/p>\n

After a brief rest in the botanic gardens, I headed north, for my next stop, the Museum of Broken Relationships.<\/p>\n

Before I got there I was sidetracked by a local folk festival in one of the town squares. I quite enjoyed the bits I saw. This dance was a bit like morris dancing, but with scythes instead of sticks, which added a certain frission of danger (to be fair they weren’t banging them into each other though)<\/p>\n

At the museum, people donate things which were symbolic of their ended relationships. It was very interesting, and surprisingly moving (though I think I’d be quite happy to get a Gallileo Thermometer)<\/p>\n

Then it was off to the station to wait for the sleeper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
