19th C "Open Air" museum and birthplace of Tito.
We drove a rental car 65km NW to Zagreb to this small village sitting on the border with Slovenia. Although our goal was the historical birthplace of Tito, the adjoining village museum was delightful on this sunny fall day. On the edge of town is his memorial fountain and just above his dacha. Great visit.

Truly exceptional site
Museum "Staro selo" Kumrovec is a unique museum in the country showing the authentic appearance of the Zagorje village, its way of life, as well as customs and crafts of ordinary peasants from this area in the early 20th century. With about forty restored buildings of traditional architecture, it presents the authentic way of living in this peaceful and beautiful region. There are traditional backyards and gardens, barns and cottages - all of which made up the rich mosaic of rural life. The restored birthplace and home of Josip Broz Tito, which stands in the center of the village, contains an ethnographic and historical exhibition.

Museum Village With An Interesting History
Was part of a group tour from Costsaver and had the opportunity to visit this museum village. To see the house that the late President of Yugoslavia Marshall Tito lived and how well kept with the original furnishings was amazing. Surprisingly Tito lived a very simple life in this house. It was interesting to see and hear the stories of this village where Tito lived.
