Has English and German translation to most exhibits. A tour deforce display of entire history of Zagreb, including parts of an excavated ancient village street found under the museum building.
If you are a history buff you will want to pace your visit as the museum is decievingly large.
It is hard to cover it all in one visit.
The museum's ticket seller was the kindest one I have ever seen in Europe. She allowed me to get in without payment (they do not accept bank car payments which is my preference) and asked to bring money tomorrow :)
Nicely situated museum (old town) which explains Zagreb's history from the Hallstatt culture up to recent history. You are allowed to enter 30 min prior to closure but I recommended to plan a minimum of 2 hours (unfortunately I was asked to leave at Biedermeier epoch) for the visit. It is larger on the inside than one would imagine. There's also a restaurant in the nice courtyard (haven't tried it)
If you ask me, by far my favourite museum in the city! Recommended even if you don't really care that much about the history of Zagreb.
A very interesting museum in Upper Zagreb. Probably - at least in my eyes - the best in Croatia's capital. Lots of information about the city's history from the stone age until now. And from time to time they even show an exhibition full of Yugo nostalgia. I loved the one showing pictures from Trešnjevka neighbourhood and the one about the history of Zagreb's children's hospital. Both on display in early 2018. You can spent there many days but for a first glance 2 or 3 hours will do, too.
However, 4 stars only because there is only very little information in English. If any.
Very interesting expositions. I suggest!
Its just OK,bc the leader is going too fast,you can't really remember
Great museum, love it, very westeuropean Zagreb/Agram.
There is a lot to take in. Though individual items lack English descriptions, every section and room has a general description in English. Expect to spend at least an hour inside if you intend to read instead of just taking a glimpse at descriptions.
The museum is always far from crowded. Unless there is a group of school kids from a local school visiting, you can expect to be strolling around pretty much alone all the time.
Huge amount of items and information, expect 2 hours if you want to read all. English is available on section description however is missing on the smaller exhibits description.
Fascinating historical introduction to this underappreciated gem of an old European city
historcal very interresting, several plazed were in Deutsch, croatian, english and even braille
It was ok. Not well prepared for tourists, but some parts of the museum do not need to be explained. A good bad-wether stop.
Great museum with lots of interesting facts and myths about Zagreb's long history. Be sure to check out the history about witch hunting and other gruesome but interesting stories.
