8 Art Museums in Zagreb That You Shouldn't Miss
Zagreb got its start as two medieval fortress towns atop hills overlooking the Sava River, and was reborn in the Baroque period as center of business, perfectly located on routes connecting Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea. These days, Zagreb is the heart of contemporary Croatia’s culture, art, sports, and academics, but its history is not forgotten. The unique blend of medieval towers, 19th century palaces, open-air markets, and ancient cathedrals, make Zagreb the perfect city to explore.

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.

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.

This is an exceptional mega Museum consisting of private art collection of Ante Topic Mimara, a rare and dedicated individual.

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.
