Arheološki muzej u Zagrebu — Attraction in City of Zagreb

Review of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb

The Archaeological Museum in Zagreb is a true hidden gem and an absolute delight for history lovers. It boasts an impressive and well-curated collection of artifacts ranging from Ancient Egypt to Classical Greece, the Roman era, and beyond.

The Greek section, in particular, stands out as one of the highlights of the museum. The collection includes beautifully crafted pottery, intricate jewelry, sculptural fragments, and votive offerings that reflect the sophistication and artistry of ancient Greek civilization. The explanatory texts are informative without being overwhelming, and the layout allows visitors to follow the development of Greek art and culture through the centuries. It was genuinely a surprise to see such a rich and well-preserved display of Hellenic history in Zagreb.

The Egyptian artifacts are also fascinating, with mummies, sarcophagi, and daily life items that offer a glimpse into the spiritual and material world of ancient Egypt. The Roman section is equally strong, including statues, inscriptions, and everyday objects that speak to the daily lives and beliefs of Roman citizens.

The museum building itself is elegant and atmospheric, enhancing the whole experience. The exhibits are thoughtfully arranged, and the transitions between historical periods feel natural and coherent. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to assist.

Overall, I highly recommend the Archaeological Museum of Zagreb to anyone visiting the city. Whether you’re deeply interested in ancient history or just want a meaningful cultural experience, this museum is definitely...

It's a relatively small museum with significant and valuable artefacts. The concept is smart and concise, lead the visitor from early prehistoric, bronze and cooper ages, trough Egyptians, Antiques to the Medieval with significant accents on some great crafts and arts things. There you may see a great collection of the Greek vases, antics sculptures, famous collection of the bronze jewelry of the mystic Japodi tribe(s), Egyptian mummies and famous "liber linteus", the more than then meters of bandages in which one of the mummy was wrapped, with the manuscript on it, partially translated by the experts. In the backyard of the Museum you can take a tour of the stone grave monuments and sarcophagus,. Alaso you can find there a very nice cafe offers drinks, refreshment beverages, and very good American style food like ribs, hamburgers, salads, mushrooms... In the court you can find a very nice and well supplied Museum shop with great handmade souvenirs, and...

Beautiful building, former palace that is currently an archeological museum, with permanenet collection of numerous objects from antique Egypt, Roman Empire, Greece and Eastern Europe. The most famous pieces are the Zagreb Mummy and Liber Linteus, but there are other amazing pieces worth visiting. First Sundsy of every month is free for all, so bring the kids, it will be fun for them and explore the history of both our country and other. Birthday parties can be organised and there are numerous workshops as well. The building has 3 floors, but it has a wonderful, old but working, elevator (lift), so you can takr that. Start from the 3rd floor and come downstairs, and if you're visiting during a nice and sunny day, be sure to grab a drink at the inner courtyard of the palace, thr lapidarium. It's tranquil, safe for the kids...
