Mimara Museum, Art museum in Donji grad, Zagreb, Croatia
Mimara Museum is an art museum in Donji grad, located in a neo-Renaissance building at Roosevelt Square. The structure spans three floors with multiple exhibition halls displaying artwork from different periods and artistic traditions.
The building was originally constructed in 1896 as a high school before being later adapted and opened as a museum in 1987. This transformation allowed the founder's valuable art collection to become available to the public.
The museum takes its name from founder Ante Topić Mimara, whose collection reflects artistic movements from across the globe. Visitors today encounter European paintings, ancient objects, and decorative arts that together provide a broad view of different periods in art history.
The museum sits at Roosevelt Square in central Zagreb and is easily accessible on foot. Visiting on quieter weekdays allows for a more relaxed experience exploring the exhibitions.
The collection includes works from many countries, with ancient objects such as glassware dating to around 2000 BC. Such rare pieces allow visitors to trace artistic traditions across millennia.
