4 FAQs about Zagreb Civilian solar System

Why did Zagreb get a replica of the Solar System?

The planets are made of stainless steel and are of different sizes on the same scale as The Grounded Sun. As a result, Zagreb got its own replica of the solar system shown on a greatly reduced scale. The distance between the Sun and the planet installations is correlated to the distance between planets and the Sun in our solar system.

How do you get to the Grounded Sun in Zagreb?

Turn onto Ulica Franje Petrića, walk 20 meters, and you’ll see The Grounded Sun. Zagreb artist Davor Preis came up with the idea to make an installation Devet pogleda (Nine Views) to complement The Grounded Sun. He designed and made the Nine Views installation in 2004.

Is Zagreb a replica of the Sun?

Most people who have visited Zagreb have likely seen The Grounded Sun, whether they knew it was a replica of the sun or not since it is large and centrally located. Fewer are familiar with the locations of the other planets. To help you find all the planets, we’ve put together a map with the addresses of all installations.

Where are the nine view installations located in Zagreb?

The distance between the Sun and the planet installations is correlated to the distance between planets and the Sun in our solar system. The system is at a scale of 1 : 680 000 000. As a result, the Nine View installations are spread across the wider Zagreb area, from Josip Jelacic Square to Podsused and Kozari bok.
