Best Ethnographic museums in Croatia

It has more to do with the person I was there than museum itself. Nevertheless, nice exponents

The temporary exhibit, 'intimate spaces of everyday life' was fantastic! A lovely insight into different people's lives and homes. However the permanent exhibit was severely lacking. From our personal life, we could easily see that some things in the Indian exhibit were incorrectly labeled or described and that made us question the rest of the museum. However the lady at the ticket booth was so sweet!

For the exhibition we can say it's fine, especially temporary exhibition which is sort of following modern museological standards. Permanent exhibition definitely need refreshing, but it's valuable pieces are resisting well all this years and bad lighting.
But, that's all positive I can share with you.
You enter museum, they look at you almost like you are disturbing their well deserved rest. Probably siesta.
After that you have to figure out which rooms are not open for public, because they are simply closed, even though on a map they are shown as a reachable and with specific themes inside. Security guard is kind, but it's not her job to guide us through the museum and rooms. You should at least put some text on a doors, because it is not obvious, we all know someone who will enter into these rooms. Brochures are also something you should improve, because they are stuck in (18)90's.
Third part is THE best part. If you want to buy a souvenir, after asking cashier on the entrance, you'll get a polite reply that souvenir shop is closed... I'm asking myself if the souvenir shop should be closed during the opening hours, and open during the night time (when the museum is obviously not open). On top of that, i have to say it's very hard to find souvenir shop inside the museum, because they have successfully hide it. ( Its on the right side of building, after you enter first room/coridor you'll see PVC doors on your left side. At least I think that should be shop, because it was very dark inside.) Signs showing the position of the souvenir shop on the wall should be normal thing. Probably they don't like tourists who would like to spend some money in a museum.

All in all, you should improve the way of managing museum, because museum of such national importance is managed pretty poorly.

What a wonderful little gem! I enjoyed every moment! Croatian traditional clothes was just unbelievable. I am surprised this museum is not more popular. Even though it is quite small, it is well worth the visit.

Great source of knowledge and inspiration. I liked that the museum also dedicates some corners for modern challenges such as hunger, poverty and ecology.

A lot of interest if you have a passion for incient fabrics with embroidery , tradition, history of cloth in ex jugoslavia.

Museum is located in magnificent Art niveau building which still retains some of its features, notably the staircase. Museum is quite small, two floors, there is interactive section of toys, so, fun for kids. I was surprise by not bad collection of non- European objects (Africa, Oceania, Latin America). On the downside they could invest a bit more in toilets.

The displays of traditional Balkan hats and clothing were our favorite exhibits. Very interesting information like "women after marriage no longer should wear red" are explained throughout.

ok

Museum is currently 25 Kuna to see a room of what are essentially high school woodwork projects. The place is a mess.

There is evidently some sort of transition occurring right now - make sure you check what exhibitions are available before paying.

This is a great Museam for finding out abou the history of Zadar and Croatia

Impressed by the archeological findings exhibited here, especially Roman jewellery objects

Must see!

Very nice
