It was designed by Hermann Bolle, the same guy responsible for the Cathedral and the cemetery of Mirogoj. Leave a Comment

today, the amazing collection is extensive, and ranges from prehistoric times to 19th century paintings. there is a large glassware collection, archeological room, sculptures and paintings by the likes of caravaggio and goya. i personally enjoyed the excellent collection of far east archaelogical pieces, especially from japan , cambodia, indonesia and india).
overall, an excellent museum which i thoroughly enjoyed. Leave a Comment Address: roosevelt trg 5Phone: 482-8100

I visited several museums in Zagreb (there is a very good selection) but this one was definitely my favourite.
To start with, the very building that houses the museum, is in itself a remarkable structure, dating from 1650 and formerly a convent of the Poor Clares order. the photo will give you some idea.
Once inside (again, your Zagreb Card attracts a 50% discount - see seperate tip) the museum traces the history of this fascinating city from prehistoric times right up to the present day.
One of my favourite parts of the museum was an archaeological dig which took place within the precincts of the museum, and has been left relatively in situ. I found it remarkable to look at the archaeology, exactly as it was discovered. You walk along a raised walkway, and you can just imagine the diggers working here. The second photo shows this.
There is also a fine collection of religious statuary, as shown in the third photo.
Towards the end of the tour, there is a room with a video loop showing some of the things that happened in the city during the Balkans conflict of the late 20th century. It is a most eerie sensation to watch video of places that you have just walked in glorious sunshine on holiday being bombed and with gun battles going on. It is even more affecting because I remember watching all this happen on TV at the time. Definitely a goosebump moment. The fourth photo shows this room.
There are many more fine exhibits but these were my favourites.
The museum is open Tuesday - Friday 1000 - 1800 and 1000 - 1300 Saturday and Sunday. Closed Monday.
An absolute must see in Zagreb. Leave a Comment Address: Opaticka 20Phone: 00 385 (0)14851 358www.mdc.Website: www.mdc.hr/mgz

The Museum of Arts and Crafts is situated right across the National Theater & it's celebrating its 125th anniversary. The Hidden Treasure exhibition represents everything that's been going on in the Museum from its foundation up to today, especially focusing on those unseen items, those who haven't even left the museum storage rooms The exhibits cover everything from paperclips to evening dresses, from the famous Cul de Paris to Alvar Aalto's famous chairs.
Unfortunately, this exhibition is orientated towards local population, so there's nothing written in English [which I find absurd in the 21st century]. However, there are guides who can show you around & another option of calling a machine that tells you an item's story. I went there with a group & we had a really good guide who introduced us some very interesting details...
The exhibition contains some amazing black & white photos, commercials from the advertisement beginnings, the world-wide-known Pag & Lepoglava laces, jewelry, furniture, glass, paintings, graphics, altar statues, cutlery, books, clocks, dishes, souvenirs etc.
The museums permanent exhibition provides a survey of the history of the art styles, forms & techniques that reflect Croatia's economic & cultural life & its background in art production.

The Technical Museum will delight anybody who has the faintest interest in matters technological. it is an absolute cornucopia of anything mechanical. There are locomotives, old cars, trams, fighter planes, boats, old fire engines, steam engines and even a real submarine. Would you believe they even have a live beehive made out of perspex with a tunnel to the outside world so you can see the bees doing their thing?
I can't even begin to tell you the number of fascinating things in there - perhaps my favourite was the three seater motorbike, I've never seen anything like it in my life.
Admission is inexpensive (I can't remember the exact amount) but your Zagreb card (see seperate tip) attracts a good discount.
When I was there, there were lots of groups of schoolchildren there, and I think any child would love this place.
Perhaps the best way to show you this place is throught the photographs, and to this end I have posted a travelogue on my Zagreb page. this perhaps will give you some idea of what I'm talking about.
An absolute must when in Zagreb.

Great museum that you should not miss, situated in an old beautiful building on the most beautiful Zagreb Square Zrinjevac, the building alone is interesting enough to visit. The museum is not too big, there are some interesting collections. One of the things you must not miss is Zagreb mummy, Etruscan mummy found in Egypt. The Mummy was found wrapped up in a Etrucan manuscipt, the longest text know in Etrucan language in the world.
This year Croatian Apoxyomenos was finally exhibited. One of 8 bronze Greek sculptures like that in the world, found in 1998 near the island Losinj.
Tip: when you are done with your visit sit down in the Lapidarium in the Museums garden and enjoy your drink while being surrounded with Greek and Roman stone monuments (check photo 4).
PS: the ticket should be quite cheap, student one is 10 kunas. Address: 19 Nikola Subic Zrinski SquarePhone: 01 48 73 101Directions: Just off the Main Square (Jelacic Square), take Praska street to south and Museum will be on your right side.Website: http://www.amz.hr/eng/
