The Collection of Stone Monuments

03/29/2011 10:59 am

The Collection holds monuments from the period between the 13^th and the 20^th century from all of Croatia.

Although they represent a small collection of some 200 objects, stone monuments are a precious part of the present holdings of the Croatian History Museum. They represent and illustrate historical figures, as well as the political, artistic, religious and economic aspects of certain historical periods. The Collection holds monuments from the period between the 13^th and the 20^th century from all of Croatia, and several from Zagreb and the surrounding region, many are from Slavonia and the Croatian Littoral, while Dalmatia and Istria are each represented by only one exhibit.

The period over which the monuments were made and their territorial distribution are a testament of the diversity of the Collection. The materials, the techniques used and the period in which they were made have determined the collecting of objects which have become a unique entity in spite of the diversity of exhibits.
