Natural History Online
The Museum may be closed, but everything is available on our website.
In the past three years alone, we have carried out more than 150 valuable museum projects: exhibitions, workshops, and numerous events organised both in our Museum and in guest venues.
Remember some of the older ones or view current exhibitions virtually, 24/7.
Search the virtual herbarium, find out everything about the new museum project financed by EU funds, learn how to make your own seismograph, discover the fascinating world of minerals and their structures, browse old museum leaflets, and peek into the secrets of fossils hundreds of millions of years old.

We especially highlight current exhibitions
Superorganism – the life forces of social insects
A large number of specimens from the entomological collections of the Croatian Natural History Museum are on display, including species from the families of bees, wasps, ants and termites. In total, more than 1000 individuals from these groups are exhibited.
Fossils in the Flow of Time and Artistic Impression
Interesting graphics, impressive sculptures, attractively designed jewellery, unique ceramic artefacts, originally designed textiles, as well as high-quality photographs professionally verified by the heads/mentors of individual departments of the School of Applied Arts and Design in Zagreb.
Coral Taken from the Sea
From their first appearance in the distant geological past, through their mineralogical composition, structure and way of life of today’s corals, all the way to the use of corals in the creation of attractive and valuable jewellery, they inspired us to present corals to visitors through different natural history and artistic aspects.
Hidden Inhabitants of the Neretva Valley
More than 200 species of molluscs are presented, mostly freshwater and marine bivalves and snails, collected over the past two years in the Neretva Valley by the exhibition author, curator Petar Crnčan, together with his collaborators, as a result of five years of cooperation between the Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb and the Natural History Museum Metković.
