About About the place

Atelier Meštrović is a museum located in Zagreb's Upper Town, housed in the former home and workshop of the celebrated sculptor Ivan Meštrović. He lived and worked here for approximately 20 years, until 1942. The museum displays a comprehensive collection of his sculptures, drawings, and designs, offering insight into his artistic process and life. The building itself, constructed of dark wood and furnished with period pieces, is an integral part of the experience, complemented by a sculpture-filled garden. Many of his most famous works, including designs for monuments like 'The Indians' in Chicago, were conceived and created within these walls.

Best for

Art lovers, sculpture enthusiasts, those interested in Croatian history and culture, and visitors seeking a peaceful and intimate museum experience.

Best season

Best time to visit

I have visited many museums but this by far has been the best and the most beautiful museums i visited. The display is arranged in such a manner that it all looks like some big art. The pieces of the collection are just marvellous and the audio guide present there gives away all the information you need to make it more interesting.. We decided to visit this place and I think that because it was the weekend, it was too crowded. We were not able to have a good tour since so many people were there and it was not a very nice experience. The place seemed good but I guess the crowd ruined it for us.

I always wanted to visit this city as it was on my bucket list and there is so much to see here that you really really fell in love with the culture, the buildings, the people and the food of this place. We took the tour package where the guide took us to all the main spots and apart from it, we were able to enjoy so much at the markets of the city and shopped so much stuff.

Visiting this place has been a very emotional ride since it brings back all the bad memories of old time on how so many people lost their lives and became victims. But nevertheless it is a must visit place because it makes you feel things you never have before.

Visiting this place was an amazing experience and the place is truly a stunning place.. The cathedral is hundreds of years old and has a magnificent architecture.
