Ethnography Museum — Attraction in City of Zagreb

For the exhibition we can say it's fine, especially temporary exhibition which is sort of following modern museological standards. Permanent exhibition definitely need refreshing, but it's valuable pieces are resisting well all this years and bad lighting. But, that's all positive I can share with you. You enter museum, they look at you almost like you are disturbing their well deserved rest. Probably siesta. After that you have to figure out which rooms are not open for public, because they are simply closed, even though on a map they are shown as a reachable and with specific themes inside. Security guard is kind, but it's not her job to guide us through the museum and rooms. You should at least put some text on a doors, because it is not obvious, we all know someone who will enter into these rooms. Brochures are also something you should improve, because they are stuck in (18)90's. Third part is THE best part. If you want to buy a souvenir, after asking cashier on the entrance, you'll get a polite reply that souvenir shop is closed... I'm asking myself if the souvenir shop should be closed during the opening hours, and open during the night time (when the museum is obviously not open). On top of that, i have to say it's very hard to find souvenir shop inside the museum, because they have successfully hide it. ( Its on the right side of building, after you enter first room/coridor you'll see PVC doors on your left side. At least I think that should be shop, because it was very dark inside.) Signs showing the position of the souvenir shop on the wall should be normal thing. Probably they don't like tourists who would like to spend some money in a museum.

All in all, you should improve the way of managing museum, because museum of such national importance is managed...

This museum was founded in 1919, and its establishment is credited to Salamon Berger, a textile industrialist who collected folk art from across Croatia.
