Staro Selo Museum (HR)

• Key Features:
• Historical Village: The museum reconstructs a typical rural village from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with original houses and farm buildings. These structures have been preserved or restored to reflect the everyday life, architecture, and customs of the Croatian Zagorje region.
• Authentic Buildings: There are over 40 traditional houses and structures in the museum, including peasant homes, barns, workshops, and communal spaces. Each building is furnished with period-appropriate tools, furniture, and household items, illustrating rural life in that era.
• Tito’s Birthplace: A highlight of the museum is the house where Josip Broz Tito was born in 1892. This house has been preserved and is a key attraction, offering insights into the humble origins of the former Yugoslav leader, who became one of the most significant political figures in the region's history.
• Exhibits and Craft Demonstrations: The museum features exhibits on traditional crafts, farming techniques, and rural customs. Visitors can see demonstrations of blacksmithing, pottery making, weaving, and other traditional skills that were once central to village life.
• Scenic Setting: Nestled in the rolling hills of the Croatian Zagorje region, the museum offers not only a cultural experience but also beautiful natural surroundings. Visitors can enjoy walking through the village streets, gardens, and fields, which are part of the museum's landscape.
