Franciscan Museum Karlovac

Opened in 2008 at the 350th anniversary of Franciscan arrival to Karlovac, it represents one of the best preserved collections in the city with numerous artefacts dating centuries back. Located in the heart of the old town, offering a very interesting leap into the history of Karlovac with a good price - value ratio. It's possible to arrange a visit even outside of the work hours via email or by phone (both are listed). *NOTE - CREDIT CARD not accepted/cash only. :)

Reviewed By moranar2020 - Karlovac, Croatia

It is a pleasure to walk through the four centuries old history of Karlovac with an excellent guide. The church was built at the same time as the fort itself, with various parts added through the centuries, and is the very heart of the town’s spiritual life. It is also a part of the town’s religious heritage, and an unavoidable point for meeting history, people and one’s own self.

Museum of Arts and Crafts

This 19th-century building was one of the first to be custom-designed museums in Europe and contains a spectacular collection of glasses and tapestries.

Reviewed By LolaGo1 - Washington DC, United States

I was totally impressed by the number and variety of exhibits on display. As I walked from the first floor to the third floor, I kept saying, " wow!". The exhibits include religious statues, paintings, priests' vestments, exquisite wood furnitures, porcelains, bells, clocks, gowns. etc. The three female employees I met during my visit were all very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended to visit! Entrance fee is 40 kunas per person, reduced to 20 kunas for children and seniors.

Croatian Museum of Naive Art

Reviewed By SESNoVA - Annandale, United States

Even if you know nothing about the Naive Art movement, you'll find paintings to enjoy in this four room museum. Climb the winding stairs to the upper level to pay for your ticket, and walk into a series of rooms with well-lit and interesting pieces. Even without studying or being trained, these artists painted some fascinating pieces.

Mimara Museum

An eclectic personal art collection that may or may not contain fakes of the old masters.

Reviewed By MadanGopalM - Bengaluru, India

This is an exceptional mega Museum consisting of private art collection of Ante Topic Mimara, a rare and dedicated individual. I went through this amazing exhibits spanning three millennia from wide range of periods and regions across the globe. The Museum is in three floors in sequencially numbered halls and informative signages. From Chinese bronzes, oriental carpets, Archeological collection from Romanesque, Gothic art, Icons, European sculptures, paintings of master artists and many more, this Museum enthralled me. The brochure in english is excellent and staff are very helpful. The admission ticket is 30 Kuna and there is also shop selling museum related souvenirs and art pieces including prints and photographs. Not to be missed by any traveller.
