Croatian Museum of Naïve Art
Hrvatski muzej naivne umjetnosti
One of the world's earliest museums of naïve art, with reverse-glass paintings from the Hlebine school.
Croatian naïve art originated with peasant painters in the village of Hlebine during the 1930s. They painted on the back of glass, using vivid colors and mostly rural life as their subject. Leading painters include Ivan Generalić and Ivan Rabuzin. The museum is housed in a Baroque mansion in Upper Town. The galleries are small, so a visit takes about an hour, and admission is inexpensive. It is near St Mark's Square and can be combined with the Museum of Broken Relationships.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00 am–6:00 pm (Sundays until 1:00 pm)
