Bring some tissues and stop at the museum café afterwards to recover with a glass of mulled wine and traditional pepper cookies. , Croatian Museum of Naive Art Stop by this small museum to see some of the work of Croatia’s Naïve artists as well as pieces from foreign artists. This style of painting is known for its simplistic, almost child-like rendering of forms and originated during the 18th century.
