Croatian Nativities in the Ethnographic Museum
Every year for the last twenty years, the Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb sent several Croatian nativity scenes to the competition Cento Presepi (A Hundred Nativities) in Rome. Over the years, Croatian nativities have won many prizes. For the Advent season of 2013, they were exhibited in the museum.

Zagreb is a city in Central Croatia and the capital of Croatia. Zagreb is a vibrant city of more than 800K people (metropolitan area: more than 1.1 million). The city boasts a charming medieval 'old city' look with architecture and cobbled streets reminiscent of Vienna, Budapest, Prague and other Central European cities. In 2018 it was visited by about 1.2 million tourists, mainly from South Korea, United States, Germany, China and Italy. Enjoy the free WiFi available at the main square and around the national theatre.
The imposing mountain overlooking Zagreb (Medvednica) contains a preserved fortress (Medvedgrad) and fascinating views of the city. Being respectful in the fort is a good idea, since it is the site of the Altar of the Homeland memorial, dedicated to Croatian soldiers who died in the Homeland war. There are several historical festivals during the year, including knights tournaments.
Zagreb is split into seventeen administrative divisions called city districts:
Donji grad(Lower town)
Gornji Grad–Medveščak(Upper town–Medveščak)
Trnje
Maksimir
Peščenica – Žitnjak
Novi Zagreb – istok (New Zagreb–East)
Novi Zagreb – zapad (New Zagreb–West)
Trešnjevka – sjever (Trešnjevka–North)
Trešnjevka – jug (Trešnjevka–South)
Črnomerec
Gornja Dubrava (Upper Dubrava)
Donja Dubrava (Lower Dubrava)
Stenjevec
Podsused – Vrapče
Podsljeme
Sesvete
Brezovica
The historical part of the city to the north of Ban Jelačić Square is composed of the Gornji Grad and Kaptol, a medieval urban complex of churches, palaces, museums, galleries and government buildings that are popular with tourists on sightseeing tours. The historic district can be reached on foot, starting from Jelačić Square, the centre of Zagreb, or by a funicular on nearby Tomićeva Street. Each Saturday, (from April till the end of September), on St. Mark's Square in the Upper town, tourists can meet members of the Order of The Silver Dragon (Red Srebrnog Zmaja), who reenact famous historical conflicts between Gradec and Kaptol. It's a great opportunity for all visitors to take photographs of authentic and fully functional historical replicas of medieval armour.
Zagreb's numerous museums reflect the history, art and culture not only of Zagreb and Croatia, but also of Europe and the world.

From Wikipedia
The Lenuci Horseshoe or the Green Horseshoe (Croatian: Lenucijeva potkova, Zelena potkova; Lenuci is also sometimes spelled Lenuzzi) is a U-shaped system of city squares with parks in downtown (Donji grad) Zagreb, Croatia.[1] The horseshoe was conceived in 1882 by Croatian urbanist Milan Lenuci. The parks were projected between 1883 and 1887, at a time when today's Donji grad formed the southern outskirts of Zagreb. The construction was helped by the efforts to rebuild the city after the 1880 Zagreb earthquake, and in 1889 the entire horseshoe was finished—its two ends were connected by the newly built Zagreb Botanical Garden. The park system consists of seven squares aligned on three straight lines.
The squares comprising the horseshoe are arranged in three straight lines on Donji grad's grid plan, forming the west, south and east side of the horseshoe.[1] Starting from northeast and going clockwise, the horseshoe is formed by Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square (locally known as Zrinjevac), Josip Juraj Strossmayer Square, King Tomislav Square, Ante Starčević Square, Lenuci fitness park, Zagreb Botanical Garden, Marko Marulić Square, Ivan Mažuranić Square and Republic of Croatia Square.[2][3] The horseshoe is home to the headquarters of many organizations and institutions in Zagreb, as well as several museums: Archeological Museum,[4] Modern Gallery,[5] Art Pavilion,[5] Croatian State Archives,[6] Ethnographic Museum[7] and Museum of Arts and Crafts.[8] The greenery is interrupted between Ante Starčević Square and the Lenuci fitness park. The Esplanade Zagreb Hotel is located there.[9] The south side of the horseshoe lies next to the Zagreb Glavni kolodvor, the city's main railway station.[10] Republic of Croatia Square is home to the Croatian National Theatre,[11] while Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square houses the buildings of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.[12]
The oldest part of the horseshoe is Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square. It was formed in 1826 under the name Novi terg (New Square) as a new home for the livestock marketplace formerly held on today's Ban Jelačić Square. In the 1860s, it was decided that the square would be re-purposed as park, and throughout the following decades the marketplace and the fairs were gradually moved to the area of today's Republic of Croatia Square, on the western end of the horseshoe-to-be, which was entitled Sajmište (Old Trade Fair). Toward the end of the century, many new palaces in the neo-renaissance style were built on Zrinski Square. The square was also decorated by busts of numerous famous Croats, as well as the Meteorological Pole in 1884 and a music pavilion in 1891.[13] The palace of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts (then Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts) was built on the southern edge of Zrinski Square, inside then-new Academic Square (Croatian: Akademički trg, today Josip Juraj Strossmayer Square).[13]
In 1880, a devastating earthquake hit Zagreb. The idea of a horseshoe-shaped system of connected parks in central Zagreb was first presented in 1882, as part of a plan to modernise Sajmište. It included two north–south axes of greenery corresponding to the west and east side of the Lenuci Horseshoe, which were called Western Parkway and Eastern Parkway (Croatian: Zapadni perivoj, Istočni perivoj)[14] In 1887, a new urban plan was adopted, including a rectangular grid plan for today's Donji grad and incorporating the parkways.[15][14] The two axes were connected in 1889 by the newly opened Zagreb Botanical Garden and the Southern Parkway (Croatian: Južni perivoj), today Ante Starčević Square.[15][16] The marketplace on the western end of the new horseshoe was moved further out of the city in 1890. Sajmište was modernised, receiving a new name: University Square (Croatian: Sveučilišni trg). The Croatian National Theatre, located in the center of the square, was opened in 1895,[17] in time for Emperor Franz Joseph's visit.[18]
In June 2013, a fitness park was opened in Grgur Ninski Street, between the Zagreb Botanical Garden and Esplanade Hotel.[3] On 27 September of the same year, Lenuci Horseshoe received a special award on Entente Florale, while the city of Zagreb received a silver award.

Ethnographic Museum - Let's have coffee
Zagreb has a great coffee drinking culture so it doesn't surprise that even museums play along. The Ethnographic Museum recently put up an exhibition dedicated to this drink, but if you need something more interactive, head to a small caffe near the British square that is run by one of the greatest coffee experts in the city.
Germans have no sense of humour? New exhibition exploring stereotypes opens in Croatia - le mag

Blondes aren't the sharpest tool in the box, women's place is in the kitchen, Germans have no sense of humour and the Scottish are tight with their cash. These are just some of the stereotypes which have dominated society in recent times.
Now an exhibition called The Blonde Jokes: Stereotypes we live by has opened in Croatia to showcase them.
The Zagreb Ethnographic Museum presents negative stereotypes - such as ethnic, gender, racial, and social stereotypes. A combination of billboards, videos, texts, museum pieces, performances and concerts are all used.
Curator Irena Kolbas talked about the motivation behind the exhibition: We live with so many stereotypes that usually we don't even realise it. We take them for granted, like something that happens every day. Among other things, with this exhibition we try to raise awareness about that.
As stereotypes change throughout history and social development, this will be reflected in the exhibition, which will evolve alongside them.
The concept of the exhibition is designed to be modified throughout time, so that visitors will have the chance to return time after time. Our intention is to attract more visitors to the museum.
Visitors are asked to talk about stereotypes on camera, and they can even tell a joke if they're up to it!
One woman joked on camera: Why was the blonde found crawling on the floor of the supermarket? She was looking for low prices.
One eye-catching performance focused on the stereotypes and perceptions surrounding nuns. It featured a man dressed in a nun's habit, posing on a stool as part of a living installation and walking around speaking to visitors.
