Event Description:

“TOUR” takes visitors on a journey through the timeline of the unfinished hospital, a monumental building covering 222,000 square meters. Under expert guidance from Borut Šeparović, visitors literally step into the “mud” of the unfinished building’s complex history, inextricably linked to the transition period. This tour is not only a walk through a time capsule, but also a reflection on the transition period, on changes and unfinished dreams. This is by no means an ordinary tour; it is an educational and emotional experience that combines art, testimonies and archival material. As visitors move through the vast spaces, they meet witnesses of the past, from engineers to citizens who funded the construction through voluntary contributions, learn about the challenges of its construction, about unrealized visions and the complex social dynamics of the time. The tour ends on the roof of the hospital that offers a spectacular view of Zagreb, encouraging reflection on the past visions and future possibilities of this impressive building.

You can apply individually using your full first and last name until 11:59 pm on 16 November 2023. Please choose a date (18 or 19 November 2023) and apply no later than this deadline. Apply at: obilazak@montazstroj.hr.

The event will take place even in case of rain, so bring umbrellas or raincoats if necessary. We also recommend carrying a bottle of water and a flashlight or a phone with a flashlight function.

For safety reasons, it is important to follow the guide’s instructions and not to separate from the group during the tour of the unfinished building.
