Summer Workshops for Children
This summer, the Croatian Natural History Museum invites primary school children to a series of creative and educational workshops designed to introduce them to the fascinating worlds of fossils, extinct animals, genetics, and natural ecosystems.
Through hands-on activities, exploration, and interactive learning, participants will develop curiosity, observation skills, and a deeper understanding of nature under the guidance of the Museum’s educators.
