About About the place

The Sculpture Grounded Sun is a bronze sphere, two meters in diameter, created by Croatian sculptor Ivan Kožarić as part of the 'Nine Views' project. This installation extends throughout Zagreb, featuring models of all the planets at proportional distances from the sun. While conceptually brilliant, the sculpture itself is often marred by graffiti and situated amidst busy urban areas with outdoor seating.
