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.

Getting There

The museum is located in the Upper Town (Gornji Grad) of Zagreb. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk uphill or by taking the funicular. The journey typically takes 10 to 15 minutes depending on your starting point in the lower town.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to view the permanent collection and current exhibitions.

When to Visit

The museum is generally quiet, though it can be busier during the summer tourist season. Visiting during weekday mornings typically avoids the largest crowds.
