"Hušnjakovo” in Krapina is the most famous site of the Neanderthal man in the world due to the richest and most various fossil collection. It is protected st the first paleonthological nature monument in Croatia. Geological and paleonthological research was held between 1899 and 1905 and supervised by the famous scholar Dragutin Gorjanoić Kramberger. About nine hundred human fossil bones, numerous stone tools from the Palaeolithic era and fossil remains of animals were found in the layers of the cave. This rich site is about 130 000 years old. The museum exposition consists of the geological, paleontological and arhaeological collection, displaying rocks and fossils of Hrvatsko zagorje, the evolution of life on the Earth and the evolution of Man.
