Museum of Arts and Crafts
Museum of Arts and Crafts, Art and craft museum in Mimara Neighborhood, Zagreb, Croatia.
The Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb is an art museum housing extensive collections of ceramics, clocks, glass, furniture, metalwork, musical instruments, paintings, photographs, sculptures, textiles, and religious objects. The collections span multiple levels and display pieces from various historical periods.
The museum was established in 1880 and later relocated to a neo-Renaissance building erected in the late 19th century. This move marked a turning point in its development and role as an important cultural institution.
The collection reflects centuries of craftsmanship traditions and shows how artistic techniques developed across different materials and time periods. Walking through the rooms, you notice how each type of work reveals the skill and aesthetic choices of its makers.
The museum is located in Zagreb's downtown area and is easy to reach by public transportation or on foot. The collections are distributed across multiple levels, so visitors should be prepared for stairs when moving between galleries.
Behind the scenes, the museum operates a specialized restoration workshop that repairs damaged pieces from the collections. This work is largely invisible to visitors but demonstrates the ongoing effort to preserve these objects for the future.
