Zagreb - Ethnographic Museum
by Natasa Lujic
The Ethnographic Museum is located in a remarkable Secession building, built around 1903, that once used to seat the Crafts Hall. It was established in 1919 upon the initiative of Salamon Berger, textile merchant and industrialist, originally from the Slovak Republic. He donated to the Museum one among the first and largest folk costumes and textile collections.The Berger Collection, the Croatian National Museum Collections, and the Museum of Arts and Crafts ethnographic collections constituted the Museum's initial holdings, today including around 80 thousand items.
