Mushroom Museum in Zagreb

Stvarno iima se što vidjeti, preporuka svima koji su na trgu Bana J. Jelačića, a susretnjivost i strpljivost osoblja za visokih 100+

Highly recommended. This is the best museum in the city for the people with inquisitive minds. The collection of mushrooms is huge, Zvonko is there to answer all the questions and provide a thorough scientific and practical guidance to everything A-Z in the wonderful mushroom world.Thank you Zvonko, we enjoyed meeting you and learning amazing things about mushrooms

Check the opening times before visiting as its only open a couple of days a week, but its well worth making the effort. The biggest display of mushrooms in the world is very cool, but make sure to ask a few questions to Zvonko who looks after the museum, his knowledge is amazing and he has some fascinating facts and stories. We spent about 90 mins there with Zvonko showing us how he identifies and preserves the mushrooms. A really unusual but interesting place, right on the main square.

One of the best museums I have been. The owner is very knowledgeable and really patient. Answered to all our questions, he offered a lot of information about any detail. The tour he made was very interesting.Strongly recommended! :)

Such a wonderful museum! The tour Zvonko gave us was so interesting- he had many funny stories and is so passionate about mushrooms.I highly recommend visiting this museum! 10/10

a wonderfull place for everyone, so many useful hints to learn from the experts

One of the best museum experiences Ive ever had. Had an extremely good tour and learned more about mushrooms than I ever expected!

Amazing museum and amazing owner !! You can feel the passion he has for his place! Go and ask questions, he’ll be here for you with many funny mushrooms stories.

One off the best museums ive ever been to

Must see.

Very cute museum. Easily the biggest highlight was the gentleman who was managing the place - he was incredibly knowledgeable, answered all our questions, told us cool and interesting facts. Worth it for him alone!

Fantastic experience ! A must visit in Zagreb !

Dont miss it! One of my favorite stops in Croatia. We had the whole place to ourselves. Zvonko the curator was so friendly and helpful, he was such a wealth of information on all things mushrooms. He answered all of our questions, even explained how they collect the mushrooms and showed us how they prep the mushrooms for the exhibits. Super interesting. I think we spent an hour and a half here. For sure going truffle hunting next time we are in Croatia! FINDING IT: Google will take you to the building where the museum is located, youll feel like youre in the wrong place. Youre not! Go inside, take the stairs up to second floor and look for the signs. Ring the bell and enjoy the museum!

This little gem is amazing. Staff so friendly and educating. Have never seen such a collection of mushrooms. This place is great. Highly recommend. Check hours. Up on second floor of an office building but Google found it.

Huge thanks to my friend Ivana for discovering this little museum to me and showing me around. Thanks to Mr. Zvonko for talking to me about mushrooms and showing me some that I have been particularly interested in. A very nice collection, still growing, lots of effort in classification of the exhibits. The museum is located in the center, it cannot be more central than this but it still kind of hidden and out of site: enter the building and wait for the elevator, you will see the museum on the 2nd floor.

A lovely and insightful display. The curator is friendly and happy to answer questions and share knowledge!

Must see when in Zagreb! Amazing collection, the man who works there truthly loves his job and can tell you numerous interesting facts about mushrooms and the collection. Please take the excursion if available, you won’t be disappointed. I learned so so many interesting things about mushrooms in one hour. Thank you so much! 🍄💚

One of the most interesting museums I’ve been to. Never ending collection of local mushrooms.

Fantastic place and very interesting excursion.Recommend it for everybody.

AWESOME collection of mushrooms, a lot of hard work under this cozy museum, definetely worthy.

You can easily spend 2h talking about mushrooms. What a fantastic find!

Its a shortcut!Shortcut to where?To Mushrooms!

1500 mushrooms! Once you enter the building make an immediate left! Do not go straight and climb the staircases like a moron like me.I was the only one there and found the experience incredible.

Fantastic place for the mushroom lovers and those whod like to be acquainted with the magic world of mushrooms. The biggest of its kind in the world, the museum comprises around 1500 different mushrooms displayed in the glass cases. A lot of interesting and useful information will be provided by the museum guide and a mushroom expert, Mr Zvonko Vuk. If you are a gourmet, you will even be given some great cooking tips for preparing mushrooms. Overall, a unique experience 🤗

I love mushrooms and I really enjoyed this museum. They have 1600 types of freeze-dried mushrooms.

It was the best experience in Croatia. Perfect place for mushroom lovers!Tip: the door is a bit difficulty to open but is is not locked. When you get in the building take the lift to second floor or take the stairs to third floor, I dont understand the difference either.Thank you Zvonko for all the knowledge

a bit small but interesting museum

Wasnt able to find it..

Very interesting place.

quite difficult to find (it‘s on the 2nd floorbut despite that it‘s interesting and good fun

Very good

I had a really hard time finding it. When I did it was closed due renovations :(

Super museum for people that love mushrooms!

Vrlo zanimljiv muzej u samom centru grada Zagreba. Nije ga bilo lako pronaći jer putokazi na trgu pokazuju samo velike i poznate muzeje. Muzej se nalazi na drugom katu zgrade ( trg bana Josipa Jelačića 3i natpis nije odmah uočljiv.U muzeju se nalazi desetak vitrina s raznim liofiliziranim gljivama. Cijena ulaznice za odrasle (20knje vrlo povoljna!

Couldnt find the damn place!

Beautifully presented. A wide selection. Could do with more information apart from the scientific name and nutritional value.

The place is small but its full of mushrooms. It was a bit hard to understand anything about the mushrooms but there was a guide who gladly did help us with every question.

Not an easy find but worth the visit.it is on the second floor of the building and the signs are tiny.Apparently its the largest collection of 1500 species of mushroom. 5 kronas (1 can dollarto enter. Lots of mushrooms to look at, friendly person guarding the mushrooms.

This place is amazing! So many beautiful specimens! Thank you Prof. Dr.Sc. Romano Božac for your kindness and knowledge and for teaching me the preservation process. I will always remember my visit to your wonderful museum.Reza from Canada.

Amazing

Great collection of mushrooms, probably the biggest in the world!

It might be hard to find for people who dont know exactly where the entrance is. Its between the Dolac market and the Count Jelačić square on the left side after you pass the Addiko bank and head towards the market. When you enter either use the elevator or go two stories up and ring the bell. The museum itself boasts a huge collection of mushrooms marked if they are edible, inedible, have no nutritional value or are poisonous or even lethal. Note that the vast majority of the mushrooms are from somewhere in Croatia, with some being donated from people who travelled to China and Russia and some other countries,but as said, most (99,8%are from somewhere from Croatia.

The greatest collection of mushrooms ever.

A little small museum in heart of Zagreb with a whole variety of shrooms :D Professionals work in it and can explain you everything you want to know.

This place is great! Definitely worth more than the 20kn ticket price. We spent almost an hour there- just gazing at all the mushrooms (there arent many signs or explations to read- the mushrooms themselves are the main display). The staff is very helpful- they spoke English and answered our questions about the collection, the freeze-drying process, the museums founder/chief scientist, etc. I would highly recommend this museum.

Cool Place!

Great collection of mushrooms. The most interesting part is seeing them in person and their actual size. I know most of the mushrooms there from seeing them around online, but somehow seeing them there is just different from seeing them on Google Images. The professor is sometimes in the museum as well, and if hes not busy, you can ask him about the mushrooms to learn more.

Small and cool!

Must see!!

Great museums, very largevariety of mushrooms
