The construction of the Memorial Gallery of Ivan Meštrović in Vrpolje, according to the project of architectural engineer Rudolf Varga from Zagreb, began in 1969. Although the idea of construction arose in the thirties of the 20th century, its implementation began after the renewed of the Cultural Society "Ivan Meštrović" in Vrpolje. Over the course of three years, following the example of Meštrović's architectural language and the building projects created by Ivan Meštrović's collaboration with Lavoslav Horvat and Harold Bilinić (Church of Christ the King in Zagreb, Home of Croatian Fine Artists and Church of Our Lady of Health on Dobro in Split), the center of Vrpolje got a modern gallery dedicated to Meštrović. Through documentary materials from the archives of the Memorial Gallery of Ivan Meštrović, this work processes and systematizes data related to the original project, problems and changes that occurred during construction, and its final execution. The building of the Memorial Gallery in Vrpolje, the birthplace of the greatest Croatian sculptor of the 20th century, is today a protected pearl of modern Croatian architecture that presents Meštrović's achievements.
