All year round, the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum can be found at Savska 18.

You may have heard of Croatian-born scientist Nikola Tesla, who became a household name after moving to the United States in the early 1900s. As might be assumed, the Zagreb Technological Museum owes its existence entirely to him.
Exhibits are organized into areas like energy transformation and geology and mining to make it easier to find what you're looking for. If you're curious about something else, browse areas like aeronautics.
Visitors may learn more about Nikola Tesla's discoveries and personal life in a museum cabinet dedicated to his work.

Whether you're into science and technology or just want to have a good time, this is a great opportunity to learn something new. You may get there via tram, bus, or even on foot (15 min walk from the Zagreb main square).

the TORTUREUM, which may be found at Radieva 14

There is no such thing as an unwelcome day here.
Visitors to Tortureum should be prepared for a frightening encounter, despite how bizarre it may appear. Not even the creepy multimedia instructions and over 70 torture implements on display can prepare you for what's in store. A couple other surprises are in store for you, but they'll remain a mystery for the time being. The guillotine and the scold's bride, which were intended to punish chattering women, are among the earliest torture devices on display.

The museum may easily be reached from the city's main square through Radieva street. The museum admission tickets are reasonably priced at approximately 4-5 euros.
