Museum of Art & Crafts

Zagreb


From ornate walnut furniture and garish rococo ornaments to liturgical vestments and votive images, this museum explores craftsmanship from the Middle Ages to today. The highlight is the collection of B&W photography, showcasing Croatia up until the 1950s, on the 2nd floor. English information sheets are hung on hooks near every room entrance. The museum also hosts frequent temporary exhibitions.
