Abstract
The Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts’ Croatian Architecture Museum holds exceptionally valuable works by some of Croatia’s leading architects. This year, we are presented with the opportunity to exhibit material from the museum’s holdings to the demanding international public. In June of 2018, an exhibition dedicated to Yugoslav architecture entitled Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948 – 1980 opened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, exhibiting the work of architects who influenced the creation of Croatia’s architectural scene. Twenty pages from projects and two photographs from the personal archives of various architects held at the HAZU Croatian Museum of Architecture were exhibited, as was the journal Čovjek i prostor, issue 2/1975, from the museum’s library. Also, a floor-plan and six digital photographs for a print catalogue were exhibited, making a total of thirty pieces for the exhibition and catalogue.
