Subject: The exhibition "A Palace and a Museum - life from the 19th to the 21st c." follows the history of the Museum and the Vranyczany-Dobrinović palace and their cohabitation during the last six decades. We will recall some important moments in the history of the Archaeological museum, and place a special emphasis on the most prominent museum employees such as Šime Ljubić, Josip Brunšmid and Viktor Hoffiller. The exhibition extends over the entire building with a special emphasis on its relation with the Zrinjevac square. The building itself thus becomes a museum exhibit.

The Archaeological museum in Zagreb has developed from a department of the then National museum, which was established and which developed parallel with the Illyrian movement with the purchase of the National home in 1846. From 1880 onwards the archaeological collection was located in the ground floor of the palace of the Academy at Zrinski square 11, and after 1945 the Museum was moved to the Vranyczany-Dobrinović palace at Zrinski square 19. The Museum's rapid development followed the management of the first professional archaeologists, in the first place Josip Brunšmid, who also established the chair of archaeology at the Zagreb University, and also his successor Viktor Hoffiller.

Dragutin Vranyczany has commissioned the building of the palace at the Zrinski square 19 in which the Archaeological museum is presently located in 1879. Behind the almost untouched façade only a small number of original facilities were kept. Every new owner has left his mark on the building. Radivoj Hafner, the wealthy horse and meat trader, should be emphasized here, since he refurbished the ground floor and coated it in marble during the WW I and added the now famous elevator. After his bankruptcy, several banks and insurance companies occupied the building, while during the WW II it served as the Wehrmacht headquarters. The most notable occupant of the building was the German general Edmund Glaise von Horstenau. The Museum was moved into the palace after the war and the first permanent exhibition was set up.

20g_kn_360

Organized by: Archaeological museum in Zagreb

Venue: Archaeological museum in Zagreb, Trg N.Š. Zrinskog 19

Duration: March 23rd - June 23rd 2013

Authors of the exhibition: Tomislav Bilić, Miroslav Nađ, Ivan Mirnik

Authors of the display: Tomislav Bilić, Miroslav Nađ, Ivan Mirnik

Technical realization: AMZ museum technician

Scope: 109 objects

Web: www.amz.hr

Type: numismatic

Users: all

Subject: The 20th anniversary of the tender for metal coinage of the Republic of Croatia's permanent currency (kuna and lipa) is an ideal opportunity for the Archaeological museum in Zagreb to display the models applied to the tender in spring of 1993. The works of seven distinguished Croatian sculptors - including the winner, Kuzma Kovačić - will be displayed for the first time to Croatian audience. All 109 models were until late 2012 kept in the Croatian national bank, but were at that time donated to the Numismatic department of the AMZ. Several months later, they are displayed at this anniversary exhibition.

The changes in Croatian monetary system during the early 1990s followed other events taking place during these turbulent times. In only several years (1991-1994) Croatia has employed as much as four different names for its currency: dinar/para, Croatian dinar, kruna/banica (never actually produced) and kuna/lipa. These alterations reflect the then social and political situation and represent a direct testimony not only to monetary history of emerging Croatian state but also to its historical development in general.
