Zagred - City of Museums

Most cities have a good handful of museums, but Zagreb leaves them all for dead. There are so many museums on every imaginable subject. There is even a Typhlological Museum and if you know what that is without looking up Google, then you are a genius. Not only didn't I know the meaning but I even had trouble with the spelling. Here is a link in case you are curious http://www.euromuse.net/en/museums/museum/view-m/tifloloski-muzej/

The museums are mostly small and surprisingly well curated. The day after I arrived it was a public holiday so all the museums were closed, the following day was Sunday and they were only open four hours and the next day Monday, they were all closed again. I did manage to see the Archaeological Museum, The Museum of Naive Art, The Zagreb City Museum and the outstanding Museum of Broken Relationships.

Here is a list of the museums I found but I am sure there are more.
