In 1947 there was another change, three minarets standing next to the building were destroyed, the fountain also disappeared, the mosque began to function as the Museum of the Revolution.

It was only after the end of the civil war in 1995 that the building was handed over to the Croatian Society of Artists and again became a place of exhibitions and meetings of art lovers.
