Typhlological Museum, Tactile art museum in Zagreb, Croatia
The Typhlological Museum presents exhibits designed for hands-on interaction, allowing visitors to understand the experiences of visually impaired individuals through touch.
Founded in 1953 with a collection from Vinko Bek, a teacher of visually impaired children who gathered items for his Croatian Blind Museum in the 19th century.
The museum displays works by self-taught blind sculptors, along with photographs and materials documenting the daily lives of visually impaired people in Croatia.
Located at Draškovićeva 80, the museum opens Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 16:00, with extended hours until 20:00 on Thursdays.
The Dark Room installation enables sighted visitors to perform tasks without visual input, relying solely on their other senses for navigation and interaction.

Zagreb features an architectural heritage spanning from the Middle Ages to modern times. The Zagreb Cathedral dominates the city with its two neo-Gothic towers measuring 108 meters, while St. Mark's Church displays the city's historic coats of arms on its roof. The Stone Gate, a remnant of 13th-century fortifications, houses a chapel dedicated to the Virgin and Child. The Lotrščak Tower, an old medieval watchtower, still fires a daily cannon at noon. The city organizes its cultural offerings around several institutions: the Broken Relationships Museum exhibits an international collection of objects related to breakups, the Art Pavilion is housed in a building from 1898 dedicated to contemporary art, and the Grič Tunnel, a 350-meter-long shelter built during World War II, now serves as an exhibition space. Maksimir Park extends over 316 hectares with five lakes and a zoo, while the Botanical Garden has collected over 5,000 plant species over 4.7 hectares since 1889. Mirogoj Cemetery, designed by Hermann Bollé in 1876, combines neo-Renaissance arcades with funerary architecture.
