Around Zagreb center

We have never ventured inside the Archaeology Museum of Zagreb 

~ AMZ ~ Arheološki muzej

but
The courtyard is super unique...

free the explore

We are fans of the restaurant Brewbites, which is across the street
and has its outside terrace in the AMZ courtyard,
an American style restaurant
amongst an array of ancient

amazing stone monuments.

"Stone monuments from the Greek and Roman periods, of varied purpose and content, represent one of the more important segments of the rich classical collections of the Archaeological Museum. The wide selection of Roman stone monuments, organized into several thematic units, is exhibited partly in the ground level entrance to the museum, but primarily in the garden courtyard of the museum, both under modern arcades and in the open air. Various stone monuments of large dimensions and weight, such as milestones, inscriptions, monumental statues, altars, tombstones, sarcophagi, and others, are exhibited here."

sarcophagi -a stone coffin, typically adorned with a sculpture or inscription and associated with the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Rome, and Greece.

We eat inside Brewbites, but we do frequently cut through the courtyard,
Possibly someday, soon we will make time to tour the inside of the museum...
and maybe even eat or relax over coffee on the terrace.

The courtyard is worth stopping and taking a look around!

"The archaeological collection of the State Institute had been kept in the Academy mansion at Zrinski Square from the 1880s and remained there until 1945, when the museum moved to its current location at the 19th-century Vranyczany-Hafner mansion, 19 Zrinski Square."  wikipedia
