A great place which will teach you about the story and life of a great inventor Nikola Tesla. It gave me a lot more understanding about his life and also motivation. - we needed around 1:30h to see everything with demonstration of the magnetic field and short documentary about Tesla - if you want to read everything, can be up to 2h - demonstration and the documentary happens every 2 even hours (10, 12, 14 etc) and one of the staff members will notify you about it - definitely worth to see the demonstration and the movie - audio guide is only 10kn and it's definitely worth it, you can read everything, but audio guide summarizes the most important - parking right at the entrance - staff are very nice and polite - good for kids, a lot of interactive objects - you can buy souvenirs there and also some products as ice cream, coffee etc.

Muzej „Nikola Tesla” u Smiljanu je jedno od najinspirativnijih mjesta koje možete posjetiti u Hrvatskoj, posebno ako ste zainteresirani za povijest, znanost i izume. Smješten u malom selu u Lici, ovaj memorijalni centar pruža jedinstvenu priliku da se zaronite u život i rad jednog od najvećih svjetskih izumitelja, Nikole Tesle. Od trenutka kada kročite u kompleks, dočekat će vas atmosfera koja savršeno balansira između prirodnog mira i tehnološke inovacije. Muzej je smješten u prelijepom okruženju, okružen zelenim brežuljcima i prirodom, što dodatno pojačava osjećaj mira i refleksije o Teslinom životu i postignućima. Šetajući kroz različite dijelove muzeja, možete osjetiti povezanost s mjestom gdje je Tesla proveo svoje rano djetinjstvo. Unutrašnji prostori muzeja odlično su uređeni, s pažljivo odabranim eksponatima koji prikazuju Teslin rad i njegov utjecaj na svijet. Zanimljive su interaktivne izložbe koje omogućuju posjetiteljima svih uzrasta da se uključe i dožive Tesline izume iz prve ruke. Ovdje možete vidjeti originalne dokumente, fotografije, pa čak i modele njegovih najpoznatijih izuma. Jedan od najimpresivnijih dijelova muzeja je svakako spomenik posvećen Tesli, koji se nalazi u vanjskom dijelu kompleksa. Ovaj moderni spomenik izrađen je s puno poštovanja prema Teslinom liku i djelu, a njegova pozicija u sklopu prekrasnog prirodnog okruženja dodatno naglašava Teslinu povezanost s prirodom i njegovu viziju budućnosti. Također, ne smijemo zaboraviti ni informativne ploče koje pružaju posjetiteljima detaljan uvid u Teslin život, od njegovih najranijih dana u Smiljanu, pa sve do njegovih kasnijih godina u Americi. Tekstovi su napisani na više jezika, što pokazuje koliko je muzej posvećen međunarodnim posjetiteljima. Sve u svemu, Muzej „Nikola Tesla” u Smiljanu pruža nezaboravno iskustvo koje će vam proširiti vidike i inspirirati vas na razmišljanje o Teslinom neizmjernom doprinosu čovječanstvu. Preporučujem ga svima – od znanstvenih entuzijasta do obitelji s djecom. Ovdje ćete pronaći nešto što će vas dotaknuti i ostaviti trajni dojam.

Feel Mr Nikola's spirit This is the place where Nikola was born, you can feel how happy he was growing up in the nature. The statue of Nikola was very tall, felt taller than 2m. Not sure if it is 1-1. In the memorial center you get to seee Nikola's life (the glorias time and the down and lonely time), his great mind experience the cool experiment. Every 2h there is a 30m documentary/show. The staff was super friendly and Welcoming Souvenirs are low priced, 3 to 4 euro for a nice t-shirt, some euros for magnets etc Definitely worth visiting. And this is my main visiting point in Croatia as such a big fan!

Very good, informative and creative museum of this genius man. I really liked all of the building where he lived, the amazing experiment of one of his inventions (shown every hour), the documentary and how it is exposed. The information places the life and inventions of Tesla in the history and other big events, it is done very good and interesting. Also there are drawers which give you insight in what Tesla said or others said about him, which helps you to understand him. I can really recommend this place for a visit about this wonderfull man, who dedicated his life to science!

Nice place in memory of great American inventor Nikola Tesla who was born in this piktoresque village of Smiljan.No wonder that this was place where he started to dream about his later great achievments.Beautiful nature and some strange positive peace rules here.His birthhouse is full of documents and data but it lacks of some original Tesla belongings.Very nice is the show room with his main inventions and live experiments in which visitors can participate.There is also conference room in which a documentary film about Tesla is shown.Very nice place to visit.

I have never seen such a disgrace. 1) no electricity, half of the lights (!) are not working at Tesla's (!!!) memorial center; 2) fake house and fake church — the original was destroyed (together with the family of the scientist) by local Nazis in the 2nd world war and there is no word about it!; 3) in the front of the memorial place they placed in the year 2022 a Catholic cross praising the "croatest" of all Croats (!?), even though all world is aware of the dispute on his nationality. What kind of nationalistic, chauvinistic, clericalist bs is that?
