Permanent Display 47. August Šenoa and Zagreb August Šenoa (Zagreb, 1838-1881), is the “most Zagrebian” of Croatian writers. He was inseparably bound to his native Zagreb, not only by the subject matter of his large literary oeuvre but by his service in a series of responsible posts which he held till his death. In 1868 he became the town notary (arranging old documents, being inspired by them to write some of his historical novels and tales); in 1871 he became the Great City Notary (running the census of 1870, overseeing the work of the 16 guilds). In 1873 he was appointed city senator (running the founding of an insurance company, putting Jelačić Square in order, making proposals for giving certificates to citizens, supervising the additions to the Upper Town Gymnasium so as to house the newly organized University). In addition he was the editor of Vijenac, but because he was overburdened with administrative duties he had to stop running the Zagreb theatre. He was senator when the great earthquake of December 9, 1880 occurred. Estimating the damage caused by the quake, he fell ill of pneumonia, from which he was to die. But before his death on December 13, 1881, he was honoured by royal recognition of his exceptional merits and proclaimed an honorary citizen of Zagreb. Nada Premerl

Stalni postav 47. August Šenoa i Zagreb August Šenoa (Zagreb, 1838.-1881.) “najzagrebačkiji” je hrvatski književnik. Za rodni je Zagreb bio neraskidivo vezan ne samo “zagrebačkom temetikom” opsežnoga književnoga opusa nego i službovanjem - nizom dužnosti koje je obnašao do smrti. Godine 1868. postao je gradskim bilježnikom (sredio je stare gradske spise, nadahnjujući se njima za povijesne romane i pripovijesti); godine 1871. postaje velikim gradskim bilježnikom (vodi popis pučanstva, 1870. godine nadzire rad 16 zagrebačkih cehova …). Godine 1873. imenovan je gradskim senatorom (vodi osnutak osiguravajućeg zavoda, uređenje Terga Jelačića bana, sastavlja prijedloge za dodjelu diploma građanina, nadzire i nadogradnju Gornjogradske gimnazije zbog smještaja novoustrojenoga Sveučilišta). K tome, uređivao je Vijenac, ali je zbog prezauzetosti administrativnim zadacima u međuvremenu prestao voditi zagrebačko kazalište. U ulozi gradskoga senatora zatekao ga je i veliki potres, koji je zadesio Zagreb 9. prosinca 1880. godine. Procjenjujući potresom nanesene štete razbolio se od upale pluća kojoj je - prethodno počašćen kraljevom pohvalom za izuzetne zasluge i proglašen začasnim građaninom Zagreba - podlegao 13. prosinca 1881. godine.
