From the very beginning the Collection of Paintings, Prints and Sculptures shared the fate of the National Museum – moving from one location to another until it was finally housed with all the other collections which are today part of the Croatian History Museum under one roof, namely in the building of the Orsic-Rauch Palace. Had it not been for the great care, efforts and love of all the people who had come into contact with these collections, they would certainly not have been preserved in their present state. The collections had undergone a true renaissance during the period they were in the care of Dr Marijana Schneider, who was their curator for many years; through her great efforts and love she catalogued and published logistical rounded selections from the Collection of Paintings and the Print Collection, creating a rich and broad base of valuable data which today provide us with great opportunities for the further study of this valuable material.
