Ethnographic Museum of Zagreb
Ethnographic Museum of Zagreb, Ethnographic museum in Donji grad, Croatia
The Ethnographic Museum of Zagreb is a building in Donji grad dedicated to traditional culture across Croatia. It displays around 2,800 items from a total collection of 80,000 objects, including folk costumes, musical instruments, furniture, and household tools from various regions.
The museum was established in 1919 and occupies a building constructed in 1903 as a Trades Hall. This Art Nouveau structure reflects the architectural style of that early 1900s period.
The museum shows how people lived and worked in different parts of Croatia long ago. Through recreated farm settings and everyday objects, visitors can see how daily life varied across regions.
The building sits centrally on Mažuranić Square and is easy to reach on foot. Plan your visit around varying opening hours, as the museum operates different times on different days of the week.
The museum displays not only Croatian items but also collections from Africa, Latin America, India, and Australia. A special highlight is an extensive collection of dolls gathered by a private collector.
