Croatian History Museum (Croatian: Hrvatski povijesni muzej) is a museum of history located in the Vojković Palace on Antun Gustav Matoš Street in the historic Gornji Grad district of Zagreb, Croatia. The museum holdings consist of around 300,000 objects divided into 17 collections.[2] In addition to a part of the Meštrović Pavilion, it also administers the Ivan Goran Kovačić Memorial Museum in Lukovdol.[3]
The museum was formed in 1940 as the Croatian National Historic Museum (Hrvatski narodni historički muzej), stemming from the former National Museum (Narodni muzej), which was formed in 1846 (see also Croatian Natural History Museum).[2]
The museum does not have a permanent display. Instead, it only holds temporary exhibitions due to lack of space. In order to remedy this problem, the building of the Zagreb Tobacco Factory (Tvornica duhana Zagreb) was assigned to the museum in 2007, but as of 2015, the museum remains in Matoš Street.[2] The museum building was damaged in the 2020 Zagreb earthquake and remains closed to visitors as of 2021.[4]
