In Croatia, Kumrovec is mainly known as the birthplace of former Yugoslav president Tito. It is a small village in the hilly and rural region of Zagorje. As a memorial to Tito, an open-air museum has been created at the centre of the village – Museum ‘Staro Selo’ or the old village. It is the largest ethnographic open air museum in Croatia. It consists of a few streets with some 40 houses restored in authentic state. It is a very cosy, beautifully constructed museum and very nice to walk through and look at the old crafts, way of life and traditions of the past. There is a small cafe and souvenir shop and there is a spacious car park nearby.
