Zagreb is home to a number of very fine museums and galleries - so much so, that we've decided to give them their own page. Read on below for some of our top picks.

Museum of Broken Relationships
Kulmer Palace, Cirilometodska (just behind the Lotrscak Tower)
Website: brokenships.com
You may well have heard of this museum even if you've never been to Zagreb, for its exhibits have toured to a number of foreign venues, including a successful run at the Tristan Bates Theatre in London in summer 2011. A quirky museum, it is well worth a visit - its pieces have been donated by people from across the world, with an accompanying story of a relationship past, which can be sad, though also amusing or unusual. It is fascinating taking a brief glimpse into something so private and personal. The museum was European Museum Award winner in 2011 - for the Kenneth Hudson award of the most innovative museum in Europe.
