Overview
Founded in 1846 as one of Croatia's first museums, it occupies a former noble residence in the Upper Town. The core collection features fossils and tools unearthed from the world-renowned Krapina Neanderthal site, alongside exhibits spanning minerals, rocks, and flora and fauna specimens. It's especially popular with families traveling with children, and its location between St. Mark's Church and Stone Gate makes it easy to fold into an Upper Town itinerary. Admission about EUR 3.
Travel Tips
The Neanderthal exhibit is the highlight. If traveling with kids, check out the hands-on displays too.
