Croatian Museum of Naïve Art
Croatian Museum of Naïve Art
This museum focuses on 20th-century naïve art, which is art created by people without formal academic training. The collection consists of approximately 1,900 works, including paintings, sculptures, and prints from artists based in Croatia and other parts of the world. Visitors go here to see a specific style of folk-inspired art that emphasizes raw creativity and personal perspective over traditional technique.
