Croatian Sports Museum in Zagreb

Croatian Sports Museum in Zagreb is located in the very heart of the city, in close proximity to Ban Josip Jelačić Square. If you have chosen accommodation in Zagreb, this museum is a must-stop for all sports enthusiasts, as well as for those who wish to learn more about the rich sporting history in Croatia. The museum systematically collects, preserves, and presents the most significant artifacts and documentation related to the development of Croatian sport - from its pioneers in the 19th century, such as Franjo Bučar, to contemporary global sports stars. Its collection includes more than 30,000 items, including medals, trophies, equipment used by renowned athletes, and an extensive photo archive. Although the Croatian Sports Museum in Zagreb has operated at various locations throughout its history and often focused on temporary exhibitions, today, at its address on Ilica Street, it offers a dedicated space for exploring the sporting identity of the nation. The museum not only celebrates victories, but also presents sport in an educational way as an inseparable part of the social and cultural life in Croatia.
