Fritzy Palace

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:12:08

The largest branch of the three-headed Lošinj Museum (the others are in Osor and Veli Lošinj), this grand mansion houses three distinct collections: a moderately interesting set of mainly 17th- and 18th-century paintings; a more interesting array of early 20th-century photographs; and a fascinating display of 20th-century art.

The most intriguing exhibit is one of the smallest: a 10cm-high, possibly Etruscan, clay statue dating from the 7th century BC, known as the 'Lady of Čikat'. In the modern section, look out for works by Croatia's three most important 20th-century sculptors: Ivan Meštrović, Frano Kršinić and Antun Augustinčić.
