Summary/Abstract: Bishop Strossmayer left a significant mark in the preservation of Croatian culture, especially by promoting the spiritual and educational dimension of art. Therefore, the paper presents the results of internal research conducted using Google Form among 54 first and fifth-year students of History and Croatian Language and Literature at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and students of Fine Arts at the Academy of Arts and Culture of the J.J. Strossmayer University of Osijek. They confirmed the initial hypothesis that students are most familiar with data related to their specific field of study and lack broader knowledge of the bishop’s work, especially his vision of art. It is surprising, however, that some questions were answered better by first-year students than by fifth-year students, which leads to the conclusion that a greater cross-curricular correlation is needed for today’s students to better understand the work of Bishop Strossmayer. At the same time, this also leads to the conclusion that students acquire greater knowledge about the person and work of Bishop Strossmayer during their secondary education and that they do not expand it enough during their studies
