Croatian Museum of Naive Art (Hrvatski Muzej Naivne Umjetnosti) Tours and Activities
Largely regarded as the first museum of its kind in the world, the Croatian Museum of Naïve Art (Hrvatski Muzej Naivne Umjetnosti) is one of Zagreb’s most unique attractions, located in the historic Upper Town district. Chronicling the Naïve Art movement of the 20th century, the museum’s permanent collection focuses predominantly on Croatian artists from the acclaimed ‘Hlebine School’, a group of self-taught artists, spearheaded by Ivan Generalić, who worked out of the Hungarian border town of Hlebine.
Around 1,875 paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints are housed in the Museum of Naïve Art, including paintings by celebrated artists like Generalić, Mirko Virius, Franjo Mraz and Ivan Rabuzin, and sculpture works by Lavoslav Torti and Petar Smajic. Additional highlights include a number of early works painted on glass and a selection of distinguished international naïve artists, including German Erich Bödeker, Serbian Ilija Bosilj, Japanese Taizi Harada and Dutch Willem van Genk.

Zagreb museums have become one of the top attractions in the city. They are literally around every corner, and together, they feature more than 3.6 million exhibits. Learning about Croatian art has never been easier.
Zagreb Museums provide a wide variety of treasured wonders. From the classic and traditional to the contemporary arts. All the way to the latest interactive exhibitions.
Zagreb has the biggest number of museums per capita in the world!
As the city is and always will be at the intersection between East and West it lives and breathes history. Unfortunately, within our over 900-year history, we had our fair share of invasion forces.

On the other hand, Zagreb recently features more and more new and quirky type of museums.
