Zagreb - Archeological Museum Arheoloski Muzej u Zahrebi

 
Zagreb's Archeological Museum (Arheoloski Muzej) has five main collections, with the general focus being on Croatia. There are approximately 400,000 pieces from Croatia, many of which are from the Zagreb area. The five sections include prehistoric, Egyptian, ancient, medieval, and coins.

On display are Egyptian mummies, the cloth from the Mummy of Zagreb showing script in Etruscan which has yet to be deciphered, Greek vases, and a medieval section focusing on the "Great Migrations of the Peoples". One of the most important pieces in the Archeological Museum is the Head of Plautilla from the ancient town of Salona.
