Museum of Arts and Crafts, Zagreb

The Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb is a national-level forest park.

The Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb is located on Tito Square in Zagreb. Established in 1880 and facing the National Theatre, it is a museum dedicated to the collection of handicrafts, rather than the currently dominant industrial products—making it a true preserver of national heritage.

The museum features a diverse collection of approximately 100,000 handcrafted items from the 4th century to the 20th century, showcasing the boundless ingenuity and exceptional craftsmanship of humanity. These collections are categorized into 18 types based on their kind: architecture, ivory, photographs, prints, porcelain, sculpture, ironwork, musical instruments, furniture, leather goods, clocks, paintings, glassware, textiles, printing, and literary essays—to name just a few. The permanent exhibition area spans 2,000 square meters, with around 3,000 exhibits, each reflecting a unique cultural heritage.
