Today we witness the said history in the Krapina Neanderthal Museum, situated several hundred meters from the place where Krapina´s prehistoric people settled down long time ago. Attractively embedded into the landscape between two hills, the museum’s appearance and proportions bear resemblance to the Krapina semi cave.

In terms of architecture the facility is full of symbolism, with a stream running under the facility that surfaces back in front of very entrance to the Museum, representing thus the flow of time. Once you cross over the stream, you will see a large door that will take you to the past.  And that “past” at the very entrance is made of “artificial stone” (concrete), as a simulation of prehistoric habitat, where visitors can observe the surroundings from the perspective of a Neanderthal. So, we came to the entrance together and now you can continue on your own…

If you want to get to know the history of a certain place, then a museum is the first place you should visit. If you are in Zagorje, you must obviously visit the Radboa Museum in Radoboj and learn first-hand about the archaeological and geological history of the region of Hrvatsko Zagorje. Younger generations will especially enjoy taking part in archaeological workshops “Living in Prehistoric Times” and “Archaeological Puzzle School”, where they will bravely step forth into the world of prehistoric man and learn a lot in a creative way about the people and tools used in those ancient times. Apart from archaeological findings, the geological workshop “Rock-Paper-Scissors” will teach children about rocks and minerals. Interactive and interesting, ideal for research and contemplation.
