Museum of Slavonia

The Museum of Slavonia occupies two baroque buildings in Osijek and houses more than half a million items spread across nine specialized departments. The collections include archaeology, technology, crafts, numismatics, and other focused areas.

The museum was founded in 1877 as the Royal Museum of the City of Osijek and moved in 1946 to a building dating from 1702. This relocation established the site as a lasting memory center for the region.

The museum shows how people in Slavonia lived and what mattered to them through everyday objects and crafts from different times. You see ordinary items alongside rare pieces that tell the story of this region.

The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday and sits in the Tvrđa district in central Osijek with easy access. It makes sense to allow two to three hours for a visit, depending on how much you wish to explore.

The museum's coin collection is remarkable because it holds thousands of medieval Croatian coins from various centuries. These coins reveal how trade and political ties in the region evolved over time.
