About this tour
This session walks the outdoor gardens of the Meštrović Gallery, a coastal stretch a short walk along from the old town. You see bronze sculptures set among the trees and along the sea wall, then a terrace looking straight out over the water where the sculptor built his own house and studio. The collection itself sits inside a ticketed building, so this session stays with the grounds around it.
We start among the garden sculptures with a sound check, then move to the terrace for the second stop, taking questions about the sculptor's life and work. A short list of names follows once the session ends.
It suits anyone with an interest in art history who wants context before or instead of visiting the building itself. It also suits a calmer, slower-paced booking away from the busier old town.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Itinerary

Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Split before heading out.
-
The garden sculptures 21 min
The camera moves through the gallery's coastal gardens, and I point out the bronze sculptures set among the trees and along the sea wall.
-
The sea terrace 21 min
We reach the terrace overlooking the water, and I explain why the sculptor chose to build his own house and studio at this exact spot.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Split: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Soparnik (savoury pie) and Varoš, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Zagreb time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 9 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?

What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?

No. The guide explains what matters as you go, whatever you already know or do not.
How it works
