- Ball point pen – PENKALA, used by almost everyone, almost everyday, almost everywhere. It was invented here by Slavoljub Eduard Penkala 1871 – 1922. “Penkala” is a famous Zagreb souvenir.

- The original “Croata” tie- a neck tie was first worn by Croatian horsemen who fought on the European fronts from the 17^th century to the French revolution, when the French adopted this fashion and gave it name “cravate” (meaning “Croat”).

- Croatian naïve Art Paintings-village life, celebrations, festivals, landscapes, portraits.
