With a free entrance from 7pm to 1am after midnight, the Modern Gallery provided its visitors with guided tours by Zagreb grammar school students. “Grammar School Students – Museum Guides”, a concept derived from the Modern Gallery project “Ten Schools – Ten Artists”, which was conceived fourteen years ago by the senior curator of the Modern Gallery Ivana Rončević Elezović. The students of the Fifth, Sixteenth and the First Private Gymnasiums interpreted to visitors the individual themes and segments of Mašić’s exhibition from 7pm till 10 pm. There was on offer a rich selection of souvenirs and publication from the MG museum store, and some publications were up to 80% more affordable.
