Therefore Museum explores and collects items that are part of the cultural heritage of the area. Holdings are divided on the collections: archaeological, ethnographic and cultural - historical. Archaeological collection is the material that is collected archaeological excavations at sites in places Matches, Javorje, Drenje and St. Cross. The collection has a few random findings are present inhabitants of this region. Stone axes from the Neolithic and Copper Age oldest objects that people made ​​our (3-4 thousand years before Christ), and were found in Pojatno Kupljenovo and Brdovec (incidental finding) and testify to the habitation of the area at that time. On the hills above the valley basin in the Iron Age (c. 700 BC) sprout numerous villages, of which the St. Cross was the biggest thing is confirmed by archaeological research. The importance of this settlement talks and recently found the tomb of a prominent. The deceased was buried together with his horse in full armor he wore for life on special occasions (in war or some ceremonies). There was a bronze helmet (composed type) with an iron tang at the top. This is the first report of such a helmet in the world (after conservation treatment will be more to say about it). O equipment of the deceased and his horse can not elaborate until it is complete conservation treatment. With the deceased attached them to dishes with Viaticum to the world (it was found thousands of fragments of vessels which ought to be restored that we can determine what is all included in the grave). Such graves with such a rich equipment called princely graves, probably the deceased was a respected member of the community at St.. Cross.

Archaeological investigations were collected objects that define the time and character of these buildings. Money that most accurately determine the duration tells us that people lived here in early 1st century to the end of the 4th century remains of a number of vessels is telling us that manufactured in local workshops but also imported from workshops northern Italy and Germany. Life in Drenje at that time was presented in the permanent fewer choices same thing. ethnographic collection contains many objects that represent life in the countryside still do before that decade.

The Museum runs a restoration workshop

„The Museum of Prigorje in Sesvete started off thirty years ago with the discovery of – as it later turned out, the important archaeological site on Kuzelin Hill by Donja Glavnica, in April 1975. This set off several field walking expeditions in the Prigorje part of the Sesvete commune as it then was. This volunteer activity resulted in the study “Evaluation of archaeological sites of the commune of Sesvete”. Evincing from the very start an interest in the archaeological issues and the possible economic valorisation in the area, in 1976 the commune authority supported the research and the expansion of the conception by the founding of a local history museum. Thanks to its decision, the museum was founded in 1977, and in 1978 was registered in the court in Zagreb as an independent institution. At the same time as attention to administrative and legal issues, there was vigorous work on the collection of the holdings and field research, together with the assembling of assistants. During the years activities were started that are today the basis of the museum structure: in archaeology, ethnography, history, conservation, in gallery and technical work, along with the auxiliary and clerical and legal division. All these activities, with their professional and scholarly work have over the last few years significantly increased the collections, the results being presented to the public via the media, in exhibitions and catalogues, specialised and scholarly conferences at home and abroad, and in the many scholarly publications. A critical mass of knowledge about the space and the people of a single part of a smallish region, Sesvetsko Prigorje, thus having been attained, a permanent display of the museum was worked out, giving the first integrated picture of this region at the eastern end of Zagreb.“ (MDC)

"The beginnings of the Sveti Ivan Zelina Museum can be traced back to 1977 when the local history collection was set up, which in 1988 became the Local History Museum, today under its present name. The museum is in the centre of the town of Sveti Ivan Zeline, in a building designed in 1951 by the well-known Croatian architect Stjepan Planić. Originally it was meant for the Cooperative Centre, but afterwards it housed and a school and subsequently the plant of the Zelinka textile firm. The museum contains items from prehistory onwards, and since it has no permanent display, the objects are shown in ad hoc exhibitions. It has about 14,000 objects classified into 16 collections. Particularly interesting collections are the historical documents collection (with documents from the 14th to the 19th century), the archaeological collection, with finds from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, all collected at archaeological excavations in the area of the town, the numismatic collection, with coins from Antiquity to the present day, and the ethnographic collection, in which there are objects from the daily lives of the population of Sveti Ivan Zelina and environs from the end of the 19th and the early 20th century."

Pučko otvoreno učilište Velika Gorica

Year of foundation: 1980.

"This is a gallery of contemporary art that possess a smallish holding of artworks from the domain of Croatian modern and contemporary art, that is, of works of art created more or less ever since the 1970s. In the possession of the Velika Gorica adult education institution, alternately, of the Galženica Gallery, are 68 works of art from Croatian Modernism and contemporary art. The actual collection was created mainly during the last twenty years of the gallery’s work, in two main ways: one of the ways of collecting was the state purchase of works of art – via the agency of the one-time culture departments – and then their distribution to various culture centres. The other means was donation, i.e. the artists themselves independently gave their works to the culture centres or galleries. The collection contains several representative works of art from the history of Croatian Modernism and contemporary art, by artists such as Miroslav Šutej, Ivan Lesiak, Valerije Michelli, Ferdinand Kulmer, Milena Lah, Ivo Šebalj, Nikola Koydl, Ivana Franke and others. Because of the shortage of space in which to present the works to the public, the whole of the collection can be viewed on the Gallery’s website." (Text und picture: MDC)

Veljko Marton

Year of foundation: 2002.

"Marton Museum is the first private museum in Croatia; it was founded in 2003 by Veljko Marton to enable public access to his own collection of artworks. Currently on show in the museum are more than a thousand exhibits of applied art and works of art created in western and central Europe and Russia between 1750 and 1850. The furniture collection consists of a hundred exhibits made in the period between the second half of the 18th and the first half of the 19th century. These objects tell not only of stylistic trends in the making of furniture, but also of the lifestyles of the wealthier middle classes and gentry and their keeping up with the fashions in interior decoration in Europe. The silver exhibits of the Marton Collection on the whole come from Biedermeier, during which this precious metal is more often to be found in wealthier bourgeois homes, no longer representing the privileged reserve of the aristocracy. The glass collection in terms of quantity and quality is one of the most important segments of the collection as a whole. More than three hundred exhibits are on show in the collection, deriving from 18th and 19th century works in Bohemia, Austria, Russia, France and Croatia. The timepiece collection is not large, but is an important part of the collection. Most of the timepieces were produced between 1810 and 1840, which is characterised by the transition from the pomp of the Empire style to the unpretentious and attractive bourgeois Biedermeier. The Marton Collection also includes paintings of the best Austrian painters of the first half of the 19th century, such as Eduard Ender, Mathias Johann Ranftl, Carl Schäffer, Joseph Kriehuber and Franz Richter and important Croatian painters like Michael Stroy, Franjo Pfalz and Hugo Conrad von Hötzendorf. There is also a collection of porcelain, including valuable collections from Russia and Vienna, while the Sèvres china collection is the pride of the whole museum. French and Russian works of art are something of a rarity in a small central European country, which makes their importance still the greater." (Text and picture: MDC)
