The Museum of Arts and Crafts was one of the cultural centres of Croatia before the severe earthquake hit Zagreb on March 22, 2020. The museum itself housed exhibits related to Croatian and European arts and crafts, including examples of applied art, sculpture, painting, furniture, textiles and ceramics. After the earthquake, the Museum of Arts and Crafts suffered major damage. The facade, roof and interior of the main building were badly damaged. Many works of art exhibited in the museum also suffered extensive damage, although most of the works were saved thanks to the quick action of the museum staff and rescue services. After the earthquake, the museum was closed to the public until the reconstruction of the building and the collection of the necessary funds are completed. Various actions and fundraising campaigns have also been launched to start the restoration of the museum and its collection. With financial assistance, the Museum of Arts and Crafts began the renovation of its building and collection. In the first phase of the renovation, they focused on urgent work on the roof and facade of the building, and then proceeded to a detailed inspection of the condition inside the building and the cleaning, rehabilitation and restoration of damaged art. The museum's holdings were safely transported to the new premises, where safe keeping was ensured according to the prescribed standards of preventive protection. Furthermore, in November 2020, the museum opened an exhibition entitled "From Earthquake to Earthquake 1880-2020", which shows the Museum's reaction to earthquakes, the severe consequences they left on the museum building and on the art objects, as well as the efforts made by the museum staff in saving and restoring the artistic heritage.
