If these 13 points were called associations in the game of the same name, the correct answer would be - Zagreb Spring 2020. If we added the 14th point: 150 photographs - the correct answer would be: the latest exhibition of the Croatian History Museum.

The Zagreb Spring 2020 surprised us all and will be remembered for a long time, and in order to remain preserved for future generations, the Croatian History Museum has made this virtual exhibition. This is not the first photographic exhibition of the Croatian History Museum, created by documenting current events - there were also 'sad' and 'cheerful' photographs, those that touched us a lot and those we remained indifferent to. The importance of these photographs will become apparent only with time.

When it comes to 'sad' photos, it is important to point out that our museum, or as they call it - the 'most beautiful baroque palace' in the Upper Town, was not spared in the recent earthquake - it was given a red mark - UNUSABLE. However, regardless of the consequences of the earthquake and the precautionary measures during the coronavirus epidemic, we still strive to be accessible to you, our visitors - creating new one and reminding you of some old content.

Croatian citizens are still thinking positively and are not losing their sense of humor. A reaction of one tweeter is the perfect example: “If I had watched a movie in which an earthquake struck in the middle of a pandemic, I would have given it 3/10 on IMDB. "
