Photo and description

The Croatian History Museum is located in the country's capital, Zagreb. The Historical Museum is housed in a Baroque building dating back to the 18th century. Previously, this building was the Voykovich-Orshich palace. Today, only the dance hall reminds of the past of the building.

In 1960, the first expositions were placed in the building and it acquired the status of a museum. After 31 years, several historical collections were merged, as a result of which in 1991 the museum became the owner of the status of the Croatian History Museum. Now it is considered the main museum in Croatia.

Today, the museum has collected a large number of collections, consisting of thousands of all kinds of exhibits that tell about the historical development of the Croatian state, starting with the events, taking place here in the medieval era, and ending with the present. Each of the museum exhibits is a part of the state's cultural heritage.

17 collections of the Historical Museum of Croatia include more than 200 thousand different exhibits. The museum's collections are dedicated to archeology, documents, maps, works of applied art, numismatics, photographs and films, coats of arms and flags, paintings, prints and sculptures, as well as everyday objects.
