Yes! Radical Croatian historians! I was so happy to read several of these placards that I got tears in my eyes. I spoke with one of the docents for a while. She said they’ve had money for a new building for years but there is renovation to be done and issues about preserving it because of its protected historical status and as a result they won’t be moving soon.
Wandering around tourist areas I feel very aware of the lack of criticality of many of my countrymen: „I learned so much!“ from Ken Burns on Vietnam, or at the Prague Museum of Communism where both Woodstock and the Apollo 11 landing took place the summer of 1968.
I read another essay by Joseph Natoli that I liked, again pointing out the damage has been done and we are through the looking glass into this new world of fleeting narratives unbacked by anything empirical, unable to withstand critical scrutiny but then not facing any sort of critical analysis by men and women „tweeting“ at a fourth-grade reading level.
The Croatian History Museum was small and its displays very intentionally jumbled and for me it was the best part of Zagreb.
