Kumrovec is a village in the northern part of Croatia, which belongs to the Krapina - Zagorje county. It stretches along the river Sotla, on the Croatian-Slovenian border. The municipality of Kumrovec has 1588 inhabitants, but the settlement itself has only 267 of them.
The municipality was founded in May 1997, after it separated from the municipality of Tuhelj. Kumrovec is known throughout the world as the birthplace of Marshal Josip Broz Tito (1892-1980), the president of the former Yugoslavia. Tito's birthplace was built in 1860, as the first brick house in the village. Today, it houses the Marshal Tito Memorial Museum, which was opened in 1953. Next to the building is a bronze statue of Marshal Tito, the work of sculptor Antun Augustincic from 1948. The old center of Kumrovac includes an ethnological museum with 18 village houses, which display a permanent exhibition related to the life and hard work of Zagorje farmers at the transition from the 19th century to the 20th century. The reconstruction and rearrangement of the buildings began in 1977. So far, 40 houses and other outbuildings have been renovated, marking the Old Village Museum as the most attractive place of its kind in Croatia.
Visitors can see permanent ethnological exhibitions, such as a Zagorje wedding, the life of newlyweds, blacksmithing, pottery, from grain to bread and much more. The Staro Selo Museum is the only open-air museum in Croatia.
