The aim of the From the Museum into Nature program is to allow visitors of the Croatian Natural History Museum to experience natural values directly through trips in nature.
Educational nature trips led by curators are carried out as easy walks along selected hiking trails of Medvednica and other Croatian mountains, where important natural phenomena are encountered and explained directly in the field.
Workshops for children and popular science lectures are held at the Croatian Natural History Museum, where visitors can also view part of the Museum’s holdings through the current permanent exhibition and thematic exhibitions.
The program is regularly held during May and June, as well as in September and October. More detailed information about the trips will be available on the Museum’s website.
Exceptionally, at the request of an organized school group, it is possible to arrange an educational trip on a special date outside the official program schedule.
