"It’s about the size of a caper. On the wall at Josip Racic."

"One of the planets in Zagreb's miniature Solar system. It's a sculptural work of Davor Preis called "Nine views".
The fellow planets of Venus, Earth and Mars plus their focal point: the "Grounded Sun" sculpture of Ivan Kožarić are all within 5 minutes of walk in the downtown.
It's a fun exploration in the city to collect the planets."
