A New Era for the Croatian Natural History Museum

The Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb’s Upper Town is a fascinating blend of history and science, set in a historic palace that once housed the Amadeo Theater. Today, it holds over 2 million specimens—minerals, fossils, plants, and animals—showcasing Croatia's rich natural heritage. Following a recent major renovation, the museum now features 39 halls with interactive and multimedia exhibits, making natural history come alive in fresh, engaging ways.
