Tips from locals
The museums permanent exhibition shows the past of the City of Zagreb, from prehistory, traces of which were recently uncovered under the very building of the museum itself, to the present day.

It often hosts very interesting exhibitions on particular subjects, thus allowing some lesser known information to reach the public. Unfortunately, temporary exhibitions are mostly in Croatian only. Why you should visit it The Zagreb City Museum gives an interesting overview of the city's past. It's a great starting point to learn about Zagreb and to actually understand its development throughout the ages. The museum building is a historical site itself - a former convent of the Poor Clares nuns. It exhibits an in situ preserved archeological site. Special tip The museum displays some interesting collections by private donators, which can easily be missed if you don't pay attention to the small sign-plates.
