STJEPAN MEZE’S HOUSE

In December 1961, based on a contract signed with collector Stjepan Meze, the Museum received an interesting collection with a number of exhibits, mostly menus gathered from around the world. Exhibits partially date back to the 18th century and mostly to the 19th century, and are made of paper, silk, leather, wood, marble and iron. In addition to menus and catering supplies, Meze had endowed the Museum with art, photos, posters, furniture, icons, weapons, ornaments, smoking accessories, medals, charters, etc.
