About the Fritzy Gallery

Exhibitions took place in the Fritzy Palace as far back as the Palace was the seat of the Public Institution, i.e. the Adult Education Centre of Mali Lošinj. Until 1998 they were organized mostly in the Great Hall (Josip Botteri Dini, Josip Baće and others) and later on the gallery of the Great Hall (Jože Ciuha, Ivo Šebalj, Marija Ujević Galetović and others) and on the walls of the corridors and stairways as well. The reconstruction of the third floor and the attic of the Palace during 2005 and 2006 gave Mali Lošinj the opportunity to finally have a proper town gallery.
Consequently, in August 2006 the Fritzy Gallery was solemnly opened on the ground floor by exhibition of paintings and graphics by Dubravka Babić. Since then a great number of exhibitions have been organized there, from art (Povratak I i Povratak II, Anton Horvatović, Massimo Tosello, Zdravko Kopas, Luka Duplančić, Mauro Stipanov and others) and museum exhibitions (Lošinj Racing Boat and L5 Sailing Boat, Emanuel Vidović in the heritage of Andro Vid Mihičić, Croatian Graphics of the 20th century from Solis Collection), to guest exhibitions (Hydro-archaeological recognizing and explorations of Vrsar and Poreč aquatorium, Greek-Hellenistic ceramics of the Archeological Museum in Split) and various events as well (lectures, presentations, parties etc.). Gallery's Exhibition Program runs throughout the year. The Fritzy Gallery was placed among the reputable galleries in the Republic of Croatia in 2008.
