Interesting and well-curated museum of photographs and stories from the 1991-1995 Croatian War of Independence. Despite that the museum is very small, I spent two full hours here. Staff was friendly, interesting and well-informed. It’s amazing to me that despite living just a few countries away during this time, I knew so little about what was going on then. I’m glad to have had the chance to see this museum, and highly recommend it.

Amazing museum, so happy we went. I was a bit unsure about taking my husband there as I am a photography enthusiast and he is not. I needn’t have worried: this museum can be enjoyed by anyone, except maybe young kids (some upsetting/graphic images). Modern, well laid out with image descriptions in several languages. Just note they don’t have a toilet. We spent around an hour there.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this museum while exploring Zagreb, it is one of the best I’ve been to in Europe. It is small but with a lot of valuable info and photos packed in, although not too many to cause the guest to be overwhelmed or unable to take it all in. The photos are quite touching and upsetting and show the reality that war inflicts on everyday people on each side. The woman working at the desk was also quite passionate about the museum and we had a nice discussion about the exhibit. Stay and watch the short videos and read the excerpts downstairs, as well :)

Very impressive, modern museum that shows a moving, relatively balanced picture of the war. The photos are well organized and powerful. Overall very happy with this museum and I’m still haunted by some of the images. My only criticism is that I wish it was bigger, I could have spent all day there.

A great curation of photographs from the war that happened in the 90s. The images are powerful, emotional and they really helped me get a glimpse of what the war was like for the soldiers and civilians. I highly recommend it if you are traveling through Zagreb and have time for 1 or 2 museums. It's a great way to learn about their history if you aren't familiar.
