Open-air museum "Staro selo" Kumrovec

The open-air museum "Staro selo" Kumrovec today covers an area of 128,107 m2. In this area there is a restored old town of Kumrovec, Villa Kumrovec (residential building of Josip Broz Tito) with an arboretum, the late Baroque manor of Counts Erdödy and meadows and arable land.

The renovated old town of Kumrovec covers an area of 39,261 m2. In this area, 21 residential buildings (huts mazanke or huts zidanke), an old elementary school, 10 farm buildings and 9 ancillary buildings (2 piggeries, 2 corn warehouses, 5 wells) were reconstructed and restored.

The buildings have been restored on their original foundations, so we can highlight the Museum "Old Village" Kumrovec as the largest in situ museum in Croatia, which with its museum exhibits shows visitors the way of life in the late 19th and early 20th century.

At the very entrance to the Museum "Staro selo" Kumrovec is the birth house of Josip Broz Tito, which in architectural terms is an example of a cooperative house built of crushed stone and is a representative example of a house of a brick house. Inside the house there is an ethnographic exhibition designed in the way of a visual representation of the living space of a traditional Zagorje house from the end of the 19th century and an exhibition of Josip Broz Tito's visit to his native Kumrovec after 1945. The core of the Kumrovec settlement today is actually the Museum "Old Village" Kumrovec, which houses preserved buildings with depictions of traditional crafts and customs. Thus, visitors to the Museum can get to know blacksmithing, pottery, leatherwork, gingerbread making, making children's wooden toys, the custom of Zagorje wedding, making homemade linen, plat
