Zagreb - City Museum

(Local Name: Muzej Grada Zagreba) The City Museum (Muzej Grada Zagreba), in Zagreb's Upper Town, is comprised of the Convent of St. Clair, a tower from the 1100s, and a 17th Century granary, and is built along the eastern town wall. It has been in operation since 1907 and houses 12 collections which include almost 75,000 pieces. Together the collections describe the history of Zagreb through documents, maps, art, archeological finds, and other historical pieces. Among the items on display is a scale model of the old town of Gradec. The City Museum also has interactive museums to interest children.

The collection is the result of donations by local citizens, including famous figures from the Croatian arts
