The Marton Museum is Croatia's first private museum and specializes in 18th and 19th century European applied art.〔Cherubini-Marton, Albina; Bagarić, Marina; Schwartz, Selma.

In the end over 700 works were presented to the public as part of the show. The exhibition was deemed a success and subsequently led to the idea of opening up a permanent museum to house the collection. The resulting Marton Museum subsequently opened its doors in Samobor, a town located on the outskirts of Zagreb. The official opening was held on May 18, 2003, a date which coincided with that year's International Museum Day. The museum has held numerous exhibitions throughout Croatia and has also exhibited internationally. In June 2008, the Marton Museum held its first exhibition on British soil at the Croatian Embassy in downtown London. In February 2009 the Marton Museum went on to exhibit selected pieces at the ''Sèvres - Cité de la céramique'' on the outskirts of Paris. In the summer of 2010 the Marton Museum organized its first exhibit in Austria at Vienna's Liechtenstein Museum. That same winter the museum organized its first Italian exhibit in Venice at the ''Pinacoteca Querini Stampalia''. In early 2011 the Marton Museum announced that it was expanding to the city of Zagreb, with its new home being the historic Kulmer Palace in the city's ''Gornji Grad – Medveščak'' quarter (Old Town). The grand opening was held on March 18, 2011. While the move greatly expands the museum's existing exhibition space, there are plans to feature a cafe and gift shop. Many local Croatian politicians have already visited the institution, along with a number of foreign dignitaries from countries including Hungary, Iceland, Moldova and Serbia, among others. Although it opened to much fanfare, the Marton Museum's time at its new location was short lived due to disastrous management on the part of its founder, Veljko Marton. Employees soon began leaving the institution as doubts about its leadership became apparent. Eventually, the number of visitors dropped to a level too low to sustain operations and the new location was finally closed ignominiously after incurring too much debt. As of 2013, the museum website has been shut down. The museum has now been relegated to its original home in Samobor, Croatia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marton Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
