Museu Krekoviæ is in possesion of many artefacts of old Peruvian civilisations, brought by the painter from Peru.

Visitors of Krekoviæ's gallery in Palma, in one of its three halls. Each of them has 50 of his representative works of art.

The Museu Krekoviæ (in Catalonian), or Museo Krekoviæ (in Castellano) has been opened by Queen Sophia of Spain (on the left) in 1981. She was accompanied with several members of the Spanish Government. Kristian Krekoviæ is on the right, and behind the Queen is Sina Krekoviæ, painter's wife.

Kristian Krekoviæ and his wife Sina greeting the Spanish Queen at the main entrance of the Gallery.

Sina Krekoviæ describing to Queen Sophia many details about works of art of her husband. The painter is also listening carefully. Mrs Sina was outstanding polyglot. Althought born in Paris, and of Jewish origin, she spoke also Croatian perfectly, so that every Croatian visitor of the Gallery believed that she was Croatian.

Shining Kristian, and shining Sina, after many years of painstaking life.

Answering many questions of the Queen...

Kristian and Sina Krekoviæ on the left and right on the photo, accompaning the Queen and a representative of the Spanish Government.

Probably the most famous Krekoviæ's work of art, Exodus. Mr Arturo Lope y Lopez de Rego, president of the society Amigos del Museo Krekovic. Portrait of Mahatma Gandhi in red chalk, made in 1931during Gandhi's visit to Krekoviæ's atelier in Paris, can be seen partly on the far right. I suppose that just on the right of the Exodus is Krekoviæ's portrait of his mother.

A closer look at this fantastic and deeply humanistic work of art. In the Exodus from a burnt down village, all races are represented. On the right a Jew can be seen with his typical cap.

Then follow two familiar persons in Croatian national costumes: Sina and Kristian Krekoviæ!

Another detail from Krekoviæ's Exodus.

Peruvian art...


Museu Krekoviæ, Palma de Mallorca, Spain

VISITE EL MUSEO K. KREKOVIC, no se va a arrepentir Sugerir entre nuestro lectores y amigos que dediquen un día, un sábado quizás a visitar el museo, puede parecer una redundancia. Pero es importante que se destaque la importancia del hecho espiritual que implica, ya que, no solo tendrán el placer estético del material que allí se exhibe, no todo por desgracia, sino poder pensar mediante la observación de sus obras en el destino del hombre, de su meta, de con quién alternaba éste hombre, pensadores, como Gandhi, en suma tener una idea cabal de una personalidad, a partir de la cual se forja un verdadero arquetipo. Por otra parte, un divertimento económico, la entrada solo cuesta Euro 1,80.- y lo que se siente es tan importante, que el redito merece la pena. Solo el folleto vale la pena. No lo olviden Ciudad de Querétaro No 3, abierto de 9,30 a 13 y de 16 a 19 horas, de Lunes a Viernes y los sábados, con el horario dela manana. Si hay confusión con el lugar, vean el planito del margen. Los esperamos. Source: amigoskrekovic.blogspot.com We repeat again, all the photos are also from this blog.

A recent version of written guide through Krekoviæ's Gallery.


Krekoviæ's series of Golden Portraits (Els Retrats Daurats de Kristian Krekoviæ) devoted to persons that substantially contributed with their donations to build the Gallery.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Vladimir Novak, Zagreb, for his first information about Kristian Krekoviæ in 2002. The result of this information is my web page devoted to the painter, and a series of public lectures about him (6 till now). Some of Krekoviæ's works of art are kept in Croatia (55 drawings, and the 80 oils donated posthumously in 1994 to Croatia by his wife Sina). See for example the photos of 32 of his oils from the 1994 donation, recently published on CROWN: Kristian Krekoviæ, part II, part III, part IV within a story about NOPOKI University for Peruvian Indians. The University has been initiated in 2006 by Msgr. Gerardo ®erdin, Croatian missionary in Peru.
