By 20 August<\/a>, take a break from summer heat in the grand lobby of the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) where you can refresh yourself by visiting an exhibition spotlighting the outstanding examples of book art in Croatia spanning a period of 1,500 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Book Art in Croatia<\/em> exhibition provides a historical overview of techniques and styles employed in the production and decoration of books in Croatia since the Middle Ages to contemporary times. Authored by art historian Dr Milan Pelc, it reveals interesting details about manuscript and printed books featuring a wide array of themes and content and presenting the greatest achievements in book design in Croatia. Apart from medieval evangelaries and missals, the works presented by the exhibition also include modern attractively illustrated publications and print portfolios bringing together visual arts and literature in a truly unique way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
