The From the Museum into Nature program is an expansion of the Croatian Natural History Museum’s previous program, which was held from 2009 to 2013 under the title From the Museum to Medvednica.
In addition to the usual viewing of natural history objects in the Museum, the aim of the program is to allow visitors to experience natural values directly through trips in nature.
Educational nature trips led by curators are designed as easy walks, accessible to all age groups, along selected hiking trails where important natural phenomena are presented 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 held during May and June, as well as in September and October, when the weather is usually most suitable for trips in nature.
