Meštrović Pavilion
Description Meštrović je rođen u Vrpolju u Slavoniji, ali je svoje djetinjstvo proveo u selu Otavice u Dalmaciji. Kao dijete, Meštrović je slušao epsku poeziju, narodne pjesme i povijesne balade, dok je čuvao ovce. Rođen je u seoskoj katoličkoj obitelji, a njegova religioznost oblikovala se pod utjecajem pučke religioznosti, Biblije i kasnog Tolstoja. Sa šesnaest godina, Harold Bilinić, kamenorezac iz Splita, prepoznao je njegov dar i uzeo ga je za šegrta. Njegov umjetnički talent razvio se gledanjem znamenitih građevina Splita, uz pomoć pri školovanju Bilinićeve supruge, koja je bila profesor u srednjoj školi. Uskoro, pronašli su jednog bečkog vlasnika rudnika, koji je financirao Ivanovo preseljenje i školovanje u Beču. Morao je u najkraćem roku naučiti njemački i prilagoditi se novoj sredini, ali je uprokos brojnim problemima završio studij.
