Interesting museum
This is a great museum worth a couple of hours of your time in Zagreb. We were staying in the Zagreb Westin, the museum was directly across the street. The building is beautiful and houses a school as well as the museum. The museum is spread out on four floors. It is divided with a floor devoted to sculptures, a floor devoted to paintings, a floor with modern glass exhibited, and a floor with China and Far East textile and glass. The sculpture pieces are smaller in scale which was an interesting change, religious in nature for the most part. Painting floor was wonderful, mostly artists I had not heard of, but Pissarro, Manet, Rubens and Seurat all showed up before we finished. It was very quiet when we visited, we had a floor to ourselves for a while. A great stop and well worth your time.
Enjoyed the visit
The Museum contains a large collection of paintings and is situated in a central spot and easy accessible. Also the area in front of the Museum building contains a very well kapt garden even in September. As far as I remember there were three floors with gallery-rooms and a wide selection of different painters. Since my knowledge of Art is limited I can not say how more experienced art-lovers will find the Museum, but I enjoyed the visit and spent several hours there.
