Marton Museum

The Marton Museum is Croatia's first personal museum and specializes in 18th and 19th century European applied art. The Marton Museum derives its call from its authentic founder, Mr Veljko Marton, whose collection is featured within its walls. Veljko Marton held the first show off of his private artwork series at Zagreb's Museum of Arts and Crafts inside the fall of 2002. In the stop over seven hundred works were presented to the general public as part of the display.

The exhibition become deemed a success and sooner or later caused the concept of opening up a everlasting museum to house the collection. The ensuing Marton Museum in the end opened its doors in Samobor, a metropolis placed at the outskirts of Zagreb. The professional beginning was held on May 18, 2003, a date which coincided with that yr's International Museum Day. The museum has held severa exhibitions for the duration of Croatia and has also exhibited the world over. In June 2008, the Marton Museum held its first exhibition on British soil on the Croatian Embassy in downtown London.
