The Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters is part of Zagreb’s “classic culture” story: European paintings, an Old Masters focus, and a connection to the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

If you’re building an art-focused itinerary, it’s the kind of place that would be a natural pick — but it’s especially important to check the current visiting status before you plan around it.

FAQ

Is the Strossmayer Gallery currently open?

Check the official/visitor pages linked on this guide. Status can change, and the official pages are the most reliable source.

What should I do instead if it’s closed?

Build a central art loop: one exhibition space + one smaller gallery + a park walk + coffee. Zagreb is great for that rhythm.
