Abstract

This article focuses on the designs of the Viennese architect Friedrich Schmidt for the palace of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb. Due to some problems with site selection and lack of budget, Schmidt produced three design versions (1875, 1876 and 1877). The key figures in this process were Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, the initiator of palace construction, Franjo Rački, president of the Academy, and Iso Kršnjavi, the first Croatian art historian.
