Ethnography Museum

The Ethnographic Museum Zagreb is housed in a historic Secession-style building that was erected in 1903 as a trade hall and opened as a museum by Salamon Berger in 1919. The architecture stands out for its facade statues by Rudolf Valdec and interior frescoes by Oton Iveković. The collection comprises around 80,000 objects documenting Croatia's ethnographic heritage across the Pannonian, Dinaric, and Adriatic zones. You can experience traditional ways of life through reconstructed farmsteads and rooms, as well as exhibits on clothing, musical instruments, and everyday objects. A special focus is placed on life in Ottoman Kosovo, presented through furnished rooms dedicated to birth, life, and death. The offerings are rounded out by a collection of non-European cultures from regions such as Latin America, Africa, and Oceania.
