New Permanent Exhibition Highlights the Greatest Successes of Croatian Sport

Croatian Sports Museum, Zagreb

The Croatian Sports Museum, a national museum institution that collects, preserves, and presents the history of physical education and sport in Croatia, opened its first permanent exhibit on January 27.

The story of the foundation and development of sport in Croatia is presented in the basement. It includes objects from the period of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, especially items connected to the Croatian Falcon—the first organized sports society in Croatia, modeled after the Czech movement—and the life and work of Franjo Bučar, a pivotal figure in the development of all Croatian sports.

The international success of Croatian clubs and national teams is also highlighted, as well as athletes competing in para sports and deaf sports.

The most significant results achieved on the greatest sports stages, the Olympic Games and World Championships, are presented on the ground floor.
