New Attractions - Art and Exclusive Exhibitions

We are proud to announce an innovative project - Ambienta&Museums. In cooperation with the Klovićevi dvori Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Ethnographic Museum, this project combines the fair brand with rich cultural heritage of Croatia through the prism of contemporary design. The showroom of furniture will be set up in the foyers of museums (Meblo - Museum of Contemporary Arts and Il Leor - Klovićevi dvori), while the Museum of Contemporary Arts will also show a documentary about Zagreb Fair from the famous "Modern Times” series.

A special privilege is a single ticket that enables visiting Ambienta and exhibitions in one of three Zagreb museums.

Another novelty is the Large Format Exhibition - 100 Painters of the 21st Century, which will be put on in the pavilion 8. This never-before-seen private collection of large-format paintings by 100 Croatian visual artists of this century, selected from the collection of the art promoter and collector Zoran Bručić, PhD, will be presented to the public for the first time. The works were created in oil on canvas, acrylic on canvas and mixed techniques. Alongside the exhibition, there will be a musical programme including the 'Gong Sound Rhapsody in Honour of Ambienta', performed by Silvana Leskovar and Mirjana Maksimović, and the appearance of the pianist Ivan Škreblin.

In the pavilion 7A there will be the exhibition titled: ”Zagreb Fair 1956 - 1961: The Social, Economic, (Geo)Political and Spatial Impetus for the Development of a Socialist City“, which explores the development of Zagreb through the economic, political and social prism of that period.

Different panels, round tables, lectures and presentations will take place daily on the stage in the pavilion 8. We wish to single out: round table “New Law - What is Changing in our Buildings“, and  the lectures: “Multi-Apartment Buildings: Old Problems and New Energy-Efficient Solutions”, "How Designers (Around the World) Create Furniture and Spaces in an Eco-Friendly Way? Nature Is Inspiration for Designers!" and “Multi-Apartment Buildings: Old Problems and New Energy-Efficient Solutions”.
