Hrvatski povijesni muzej
Croatian History Museum has evolved from the former National Museum, founded in Zagreb in 1846. In 1959, after several transfers museum found home in a palace in the Upper Town. The place quickly proved too small for the storage and exhibition of the museum collection, which is one of the reasons that the museum does not have a permanent collection. In 1991 the Museum was merged with the Museum of the Revolution (founded in 1945 with the task of documenting the anti-fascist uprising in war-time Croatia) in a unique museum institution called the Croatian History Museum.Palace The museum is housed in a baroque palace Vojković-Oršić-Kulmer-Rauch in the Upper Town, built in the late 18th century. The palace frequently changed owners and tenants and is a reflection of the social and economic situation of noble families. In 2007 Croatian Government secured a permanent accommodation for the Croatian Historical Museum, purchasing the building of the former tobacco factory in Zagreb, a protected cultural property of valuable industrial architecture. It is still under construction to meet all the standards required for smooth operation of the museum.
