The 10 Best Specialty Museums in Zagreb, Central Croatia
Zagreb got its start as two medieval fortress towns atop hills overlooking the Sava River, and was reborn in the Baroque period as center of business, perfectly located on routes connecting Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea. These days, Zagreb is the heart of contemporary Croatia’s culture, art, sports, and academics, but its history is not forgotten. The unique blend of medieval towers, 19th century palaces, open-air markets, and ancient cathedrals, make Zagreb the perfect city to explore.

This museum was excellent. First, our ticket was a rectangular box with a spoon, a cocoa bean and samples of chocolate that we had to try throughout the museum at designated spots in each of the 7 galleries. Second, it was really really well done. It traced the origins of cocoa beans, explained how they are harvested and prepared and how the beverage known as the drink of the gods by the ancient Aztec and Maya people came to Europe in the 16th century and later in the 19th century became edible in bars. Really fascinating. Our favorite place was a savoring station where you had to sample three different kinds of chocolate, white, milk, and dark, from little pumps--this is where the spoon came in handy. It was a really entertaining experience for kids too, and not just the sampling!

Price is 5.3€ for adults and 4€ for students

I can highly recommend this museum. First off all, it is very cheap (25 kuna) for students. You start the “tour” by getting a chance to win free entrance - how U must see for yourself. There is many funny stories and the staff is very friendly, and speaks great English. Go see the museum, you will not regret it.

Excellent displays which were in English and Croatian made visiting this amazing museum a pleasure. The well organized layout, uncluttered display of artifacts and well lit rooms made the tour of the building an easy and educational stop for an afternoon.

Hidden in an office building with an antique elevator near the market, the Mushroom Museum Information Centre is a mycologist's delight and an eye-opener for those who prefer theirs cooked. The freeze-dried specimens are in excellent condition for observing their features. We found most of our favourites, and confirmed which are poisonous, which are edible, and which are "choice". So much better than the array of books we normally consult to identify mushrooms. The life's work of Professor Romano Božac, who wrote one of the definitive books on mushrooms, "Gljive naših krajeva."
