The HRK 40.8 million museum is situated inside the reconstructed medieval fortification of this biggest city in the northern Croatian region of Međimurje.
The 2,700-square-metre-large museum contains artefacts and historical records concerning the local history, heritage and legends, including the heritage concerning the famous noble Zrinski family.
The museum was formally opened by County Prefect Matija Posavec.
As much as 85% of funds for this €5.5 million investment came from the European Union's funds.
