Some historical machinery. Don't miss a collection of Nikola Tesla's original experiment lab constructs, including a demo of the first radio remote controlled boat he designed.
Also in the collection are one of the original engines designed by Here Diesel himself, as well as a waist high WWII Italian personal tank, replicas of old trams, early X-ray machine, steam powered fire trucks, and much more.
If you have a few days in Zagreb it is worth taking a look.
Perfect. A wonderful place to learn about electricity and Nikola Tesla. There are also plenty of other historical items (cars, trains, mills, diesel motors, other motors). I would highly recommend you check this place out.
Nice museum, even if you are not into technics. However, if you are interested with mechanics then you can spend hours in this museum. Nice exhibition of engines and other technological solutions. The mine in the basement is nothing special. The second floor is worth to see, but comparing to the first floor it's disappointing. I didn't really get why the molding machine from 2000 is there, also, with no description. They could at least write that it is a molding machine making CDs with a robot transporter.
Overall, I really recommend this place.
If that facility had any kind of heating, when it's literally negative 15 C. it would've be the best place to take yourself, alone or with entire family to great technological memory lane.
Don't miss exact hours when visit to the Coal mine, Tesla laboratory and Planetarium are scheduled(these are 20 minutes guided tours). Cause if you miss that, you pretty much missed 60% of great thongs to be seen.
*On the top of regular price you need to pay another ticket for Planetarium (another 75% of regular price). But all that fun and knowledge still fits in the budget of 5,_€
A museum with an old soul. Entering it you feel like in another world. Great place to take kids with it's many different kinds of vehicles and technical processes.
It also hosts a Tesla experiments room, a mine and a planetarium.
I'm missing more interactive sections (has cool interactive nuclear energy section), hopefully they will invest in it in near future.
It's a nice museum but has absolutely nothing to do with Nikola Tesla. The guided mine tour and the planetarium are quite nice to do but you have to be able to understand Croatian
There were some really interesting displays and artifacts. The wall postings are not very well coordinated with many of the exhibits. the alternative energy section is a little weak and not very well integrated into the older exhibits
Great museum, showcasing some really interesting progress in history. I can highly recommend the Nikola Tesla exhibition, you learn a ton about his life and inventions! The building is a bit old and has a very own Eastern European/ Communism era atmosphere. An entrance ticket is valid for the entire day and at 16:00 there is a Tesla specific tour showing some of his inventions.
A place full of so many inventions. I especially loved the screen where you can test your knowledge.
Nice place to see, spending aprox 1 - 1,5h. Exposition is not too big but we found many interesting things. Can be interesting also for older kids.
Great staff, kids loved it, a lot of really interesting things and topics covered. They have live bee hive for kids to see how it works.
Fascinating place for both kids and adults. Plenty of old-school machine innards and vehicles to look at. The trip down the mine is fun, but taller people will end up with a bad back! There is a great interactive exhibition with a Faraday cage, whereby volunteers (kids) can go up front and stand in a cage while electricity rubs through it. Sound dangerous? Nope! It's really good fun for them.
I'd never been in a planetarium before, but they have one here. It's probably half an hour long or so that you sit in it, but I found it a bit tedious. Kids must qualify as nerds to patiently participate!
Just bear in mind that, although the museum staff can speak in English, everything is presented in Croatian, so you have to use your imagination a bit!
Very nice museum, not big, but you should wait for guided tours. In that case you can see Tesla transformator or go inside mine.
A charming museum! We liked it a lot.
Small but very nice museum. Check hours for Tesla tour. Highly recommended!
If you are even remotely interested in tech stuff, this is a must visit while in Zagreb. Excellent for kids. Wish I had such interactive and updated exhibits as a kid.
Museum of Technics is always a fun and interesting way of spending an afternoon or even the whole day.
Don't miss the miners tunnels built by the students and their professors from the Mining, Geology and Oil faculty during the socialist era.
They built it on their own, to show different solutions to mining tunnels and present the miners life to an average citizen.
