The Mimara Museum is an art museum in Zagreb, Croatia, built around the private collection of Ante Topić Mimara and opened to the public in 1987. Its core holding numbers roughly 3,700 objects across multiple media.

The displays cover a broad chronological range from antiquity to the 20th century and include paintings, sculpture and decorative arts. Galleries are arranged to show thematic and chronological groupings rather than a single national school.

The collection was assembled and donated by Ante Topić Mimara; the museum was created to house and exhibit his holdings when they were transferred to the city in the late 20th century. The institution has presented rotating displays and special exhibitions since opening.

Located within the city of Zagreb, the museum sits in the urban core of Croatia’s capital and is reachable by the city’s public transport network.
