The Old Village Museum Kumrovec (Muzej Staro Selo Kumrovec) - The Old Village Museum is the biggest open-air museum in Croatia with birth-place of Josip Broz Tito as its most significant sight. The experts of the Zagreb Museum of Arts and Crafts restored the house to its original condition.

At the entrance to the Old Village Museum stands the farm of the Broz cooperative family, which includes the birth house of Josip Broz Tito and historic and ethnographic exhibits.

The other traditional wooden and brick and stone houses (hize mazanke and hize zidanke) and the farm facilities house exhibits of traditional workshops and various displays of late 19th and early 20th century customs of Hrvatsko Zagorje, such as those at a typical Zagorje wedding.
