A visit to the Cravaticum Museum in Zagreb is a wonderful opportunity for students of the Croatian Language Academy to explore a fascinating part of Croatia’s cultural identity. The museum is dedicated to the cravat, the elegant necktie that originated from Croatian soldiers in the 17th century and later became a global fashion symbol. Through carefully curated exhibits, visitors can trace the journey of the cravat from its historical roots to its modern interpretations, discovering how a simple piece of fabric became a universal emblem of sophistication and national pride.
For language and culture learners, Cravaticum offers much more than a visual experience — it provides a deeper understanding of how history, language, and symbols intertwine to shape identity. Walking through the museum, students can engage with stories, interactive displays, and artistic interpretations that connect tradition with contemporary creativity. It’s an inspiring reminder that learning a language also means exploring the culture, values, and ideas that it expresses — and few symbols capture the Croatian spirit as gracefully as the cravat.
Speed up the development of your language skills by participating in the Socio-Cultural Activities program and have a great time while doing it.
