Zagreb - Museum of Arts and Crafts Muzej Za Umjetnosti i Obrt

 
The Museum of Arts and Crafts (Muzej Za Umjetnosti i Obrt) at first appears to be a mix of different art forms from different time periods and regions. However, when the museum was originally opened in 1880 it was intended to hold a collection of works by craftsman and artists from Zagreb and other areas of Croatia. Over the years the collection has grown to more than 160,000 pieces from Croatia and various European countries.
