Moslavina Museum in Kutina is a complex museum institution which
deals with collecting, processing, presenting and publishing of the
cultural and historical treasures of Moslavina, a county situated in
Croatian Posavina and Western Slavonia. The Museum itself is situated
in the centre of Kutina, in a castle formerly belonging to the counts
Erdödy, built during the mid 18th century. The building is a rectangular
baroque manor with a little portico above the entrance on the eastern
front. The original baroque appearance of the building has been
modified during the historicist renovation in 1895, the year noted on
the gable, when the manor assumed its current appearance which has
remained unchanged until today. The Museum was established on
March 15th 1960, as a museum and archive of the Revolution of People
of Moslavina. The establishment and its first years of operation are
related to the Historical department, which is in fact ‘National
Liberation Movement’ (NOB) department. In the year 1963 the
Museum changes its name to Museum of Moslavina and, apart from its
historical department, broadens its scope of activities to archaeology
and ethnology, and in 1972 the gallery department is opened. Today the
Museum operates within these four departments. The building of the
Moslavina Museum in Kutina holds three permanent exhibitions:
archaeological, cultural-historical and ethnographical. The gallery’s
permanent exhibition is situated on the first floor of the Gallery, in the
former palace of the Ausch family, dating from late 19th and early 20th
century. On the ground floor of the Gallery exhibits, promotions,
workshops and lectures are being held occasionally. This four bodies of
permanent exhibition presents artifacts from 24 collections of the
