Croatian Museum of Contemporary Art, Art museum in Novi Zagreb, Croatia.
The Croatian Museum of Contemporary Art is an art museum located in Novi Zagreb displaying contemporary artworks. The building contains multiple exhibition spaces dedicated to both permanent collections and rotating temporary shows throughout the year.
The institution was founded in 1954 as the City Gallery of Contemporary Art and moved to its present building in 2009, designed by architect Igor Franić. This relocation marked a significant shift in how the museum could expand its exhibition and collection programs.
The collection presents works by Croatian artists such as Julije Knifer and Tošo Dabac alongside international creators like Marina Abramović, reflecting how local art practice engages with global conversations. This mix shapes how visitors understand contemporary creativity across different regions and traditions.
The museum welcomes visitors on most days of the week, and planning your visit in advance helps you make the most of the different exhibitions on display. The building is well-organized for navigation and accessibility, making it straightforward to explore at your own pace.
The entrance features Carsten Höller's Double Slide installation, which invites visitors to engage playfully with the space. A large LED screen on the exterior displays rotating artworks, turning the building's facade into a dynamic gallery for passersby.
