The situation with the Contemporary Art Museum of Istria, which hosted the Sad But True exhibit, is quite unusual.

The establishing of the museum was a purely political decision which didn't consider practical issues: the museum hasn't got a building, it uses unfitting spaces for shows, it doesn't have an appropriate storage room…

Inspired by this situation, I’ve created a model of the museum’s building and named it Yeti Museum.

The Contemporary Art Museum of Istria is like the mythical Yeti – everyone’s heard of it but no one knows what it looks like.

In the Croatian language, when you say: "Je ti (jeti=yeti) muzej”, then it also means: “You call this a museum?”
