There is plenty to see here and for 5 Euros it is good value for money. The exhibitions are over three floors and cover right from the early days of the city to modern times. The main information signs in each room are in English and are very detailed; the smaller notices for individual exhibits tend not to be. Make sure you start in the right place as this takes you from the origins of the city forwards - it is confusing if you go in the wrong place - the information signs are numbered so follow them and you can't go wrong. I'm more into modern history than ancient so found the exhibits around the second world war, the wars of the 90s and especially the earthquake in 2020 the most interesting - the video on how they removed the damaged cathedral tower was fascinating. But overall I would say there is something for everyone and it is a good place to spend an hour or two.

We visited here as we had bought the one day Zagreb card and this was included. It’s a bit of an uphill walk to get here through the old town. To start with I thought it was going to be quite boring as it covered the beginning of Zagreb with lots of stone pots they’d done up but we stuck with it and it really got going with some great well laid out rooms and most of the cathedral included and a great insight into how this city has developed.

Over two floors the museum offers a nice overview of the early and more recent history of Zagreb. The artifacts are nicely displayed and the museum is quiet apart from the sometimes multitude of school classes. The entrance fee is cheap with a discount for seniors.

The “Municipal Museum of Zagreb” is a wonderful museum for anyone with the interest and patience to delve into various aspects of the history of this beautiful city in detail. The museum has a chronological route in which different topics are explored in depth using 1001 artefacts and very informative text boards. You will come across everything here, from archaeological excavations to complete interiors.
If you don't have much time or patience, still come to this museum and stroll through the rooms, enjoy the many beautiful objects and then only delve into the subjects that really interest or fascinate you.
You can imagine that this museum is a must for school classes. It is also a pleasure to see how the children are amazed and hang on the teacher's lips.

The museum has loads of exhibits, it was really big. The chronology seemed to jump about a bit though, I'm not sure if that was because of the order in which different remains are found across the museum site? Unfortunately, the labels for all the small pieces were only in Croatian, so not very accessible. It was also too hot inside the museum.

Surprisingly Good.
Very nice and well kept museum combining history of the city, prehistory, politics aspects, museological and technological parts etc..
We were stunned.
The only think we were dissatisfied, was the fact that not all excibits have English labels.
Anyway it is a must if are in Zagreb.

There are some amazing artifacts here but without English translations it was really difficult to engage with this museum and its contents. It is closed on Sunday and Monday so it took a while to get in and once there it was a bit disappointing to not understand everything.
There also seems to be a big chunk of history surrounding the 1990s Croatian War of Independence missing, so it felt like contemporary history was lacking.
If you have time it is worth a look, but if short on time it wouldn’t be a tragedy to miss.

Normally I do not go to city museums as they tend to be a little on the boring side. I wouldn't have gone if admission was not included in the Zagreb card. This museum surprised me and I really liked it. It is quite large and goes back from neo-lithic/bronze age history to modern times. It really gave you the rich history of the city over thousands of years. It was also pleasant to go through since there were not many people. The collection is a little random from pot shards, to metal worked doors, to clocks, to carved boxes, to guns and cannons, to furniture, to folk-art painting, to advertising. It kind of felt like being in a wild antique store since everything was very approachable. Overall there is something for everyone and I would definitely recommend.

What to do when you are in Zagreb and the weather is bad. No problem, go to Zagreb City Museum. There are old guns and uniforms, emblems, stone pieces from church buildings and many more. There is also first and only Oscar in history for a croatian movie.

The museum's website confirms it will be closed on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, but oddly not Good Friday
