Muzej Turopolja
About This Museum
You might not expect a museum dedicated to the culture of the Turopolje region to be housed in a grand, central building, but that's exactly where you'll find it. The Muzej Turopolja sits proudly on Velika Gorica's main square, its collection weaving a rich narrative from prehistoric tools to the intricate folk costumes and painted furniture that defined local identity for centuries. It’s a place that feels less like a repository of artifacts and more like a conversation with the past, telling the story of the common people and nobility who shaped this unique area just south of Zagreb.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning 'Turopolje maid' folk costumes, vibrant with embroidery, and the region's distinctive painted furniture. The museum also holds fascinating archaeological finds from nearby prehistoric sites and a collection of historical documents that chart the area's development.
