"I was impressed by the magical vibe. Even if you’re an adult and you worry about so many things, this is a place where you can feel like a child again. Especially if you loved reading these stories in childhood, or if you had heard them from your grandma, like I did. In a way, this place transports you back to your childhood, and I’m very happy to have experienced it."

15. SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Zdenko Basic, illustrator and creator of the Museum of Lost Tales:
"I’ve always had a fascination with folk tales, ever since the beginning. Whether I’m doing illustrations, animations, documentaries, exhibitions, plays, it was always something dealing with folklore. And I had two grandmas who told me these stories when I was a kid, and in a way I feel like they are part of my heritage, straight from the source. Later, I expanded my knowledge by reading scholarly works. But I was really lucky to have heard these stories told live."

17. SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Zdenko Basic, illustrator and creator of the Museum of Lost Tales:
"The exhibition is purposefully curated, to transport visitors into another world, to make them feel like they are stepping into a book, a story, to feel like they are part of that story. We try to encourage imagination, there are small hidden compartments in every room which invites people to explore, and every room has its own scent. We want every visitor to become an explorer, to feel like a child again, so that for a moment they realize that somewhere in those nooks and crannies there might be an actual fairy living there."

19. SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Zdenko Basic, illustrator and creator of the Museum of Lost Tales
"Croatian folk tales don’t really have Halloween in that form, but that’s the time of the year when most tales would be told. The most often mentioned creature around that time is Babaroga, who is talked about as a goddess of death who opens the door to the underworld, the land of the dead. She is thought to leave the door open, so souls of the dead can come out and mingle with the living. So, there was a custom in this area, in the northern regions of Medjimurje and Podravina, to light up a pumpkin or turnip, carved with an intimidating face on it, to scare away evil demons, and at the same time invite the good ones."
