Not to be missed - This museum was incredibly artistic and detailed with Croatian folk lore illustrated by on artist over the past 20 yrs ( Zdenko Basic lives in Istria). Although many of the stories are not suitable for young children , many include vignettes about fairies and there are hidden shadow boxes with instructions for children on entry. I could have spent hours listening to the audio shorts which were numerous in each room and were activated by tapping a ‘coin’ under each titled photo( narrative is also written on the wall). Unfortunately the rooms are tiny and literally covered with creations but it wasn’t crowded so I could spend a lot of time in each themed room. The staff was very helpful with additional information and the gorgeously illustrated books by the author made a great memento. Highly recommended if you have not outgrown your childhood imagination!

Dive into a totally different world you will be utterly amazed by - Incredibly interesting stories, great artwork amd also audio-guides available in several languages. It makes you feel like you fell out of this world into a totally different one, full of gods and godesses, elves, witches and many more. The museum I enjoyed the most during my stay in the city.

Very special experience - Really a very pleasant experience! Very elaborate and beautifully designed with original art. Very Special Mood. A visit can easily take several hours. Audio guide available in several languages if you prefer to listen rather than read.

Wonderful museum of dark fairytales - Wonderful museum that showcases the work of artist Zdenko Basic. His fantastical paintings and dreamscape interiors highlight the amazing work he has done to collect Croatian folktales and folk beliefs. This is not a Disney fairytale museum intended for children. If you enjoy darker gothic tales and art, you will enjoy it—we certainly did.

Nice enough to make beautiful photos, but nothing more - I found this visit friendly, well staged, enough to make beautiful photos. After that it’s not Nirvana either, for people who appreciate the dark side, it can be very cool
