Froggyland

Froggyland is a taxidermy museum in Split, Croatia, featuring a collection of preserved frogs arranged in human everyday scenarios. The facility contains 21 dioramas where the animals are positioned in poses representing professions and social situations.

Hungarian taxidermist Ferenc Mere worked on this collection between 1910 and 1920, crafting each piece individually. The exhibits later traveled to Croatia and found their permanent home in Split.

The frogs wear tiny garments and hold miniature tools while reenacting activities such as teaching, hairdressing, or playing cards. These scenes capture everyday moments from over a century ago, when such displays enjoyed popularity among audiences.

The museum sits in central Split and remains open year-round. Part of the collection can also be displayed outside the main venue.

The preservation method removes internal organs entirely while keeping the outer skin and natural proportions intact. Each animal retains its original size and shape without visible incisions or stitching.
