Located at the very edge of the western Slavonia, surrounded by hills and forests that ascend all the way to the town itself, Pakrac represents everything you do not actually expect in Slavonia.
The first settlements were found in the prehistoric times while the town itself was founded in the Middle Ages when crusaders paved their way to the Holy Land. Pakrac was one of the biggest fortified stone towns in this part of Slavonia that welcomed warriors and pilgrims while changing its owners. It was here that the first Croatian currency kuna was minted in the first Croatian mint. Later, the Turks rules the town followed by many other landowners. Pakrac had been developing as a trading centre, a place where important fairs were held and it became a town of traders and craftsmen. Apart from its rich economic and social life thanks to the craftsmen who ordered the constructions of new home and business buildings, Pakrac also features valuable historic and Art Nouveau architecture.

It is when top musicians, authors, lecturers, artists, documentaries and, of course, irreplaceable hi-fi enthusiasts and exhibitors come to Pakrac.
Multipak is a result of excellent and long-lasting cooperation among the Museum of Town of Pakrac, the Public Library of Pakrac and Robertoshop under the patronage and with the support of the Town of Pakrac. It started in 2012 as a joint reaction of the above-mentioned organizers who wanted to prove that small towns can act big, or in other words that small town can be promotors of major top-notch events. The quality content, which in the case of Multipak is made of hi-fi equipment, music, film, literal and artistic events, create a backbone that has been upgraded since 2012 with even more quality and attractive programmes year by year.
