Kumrovec Staro Selo Museum
Muzej Staro selo Kumrovec
The birthplace of Tito, a 19th-century Zagorje village preserved as an open-air folk museum.
Kumrovec lies in the Sutla River valley on the Slovenian border. The open-air museum "Staro Selo" consists of more than 40 thatched wooden houses showing rural life, including blacksmith shops, pottery workshops, winemaking, and traditional weddings. Craft demonstrations are often held on weekends. The house where Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito was born is also here, with his bronze statue in front. It's about 50 kilometers from Zagreb, and it pairs well with Trakošćan Castle or Veliki Tabor Castle.
