The Gavella theater owes its existence to Croatian producer and playwright Dr. Branko Gavella. The theater's repertoire is classical and features productions based on William Shakespeare, Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Bulgakov and other well-known writers' works. The theater delivers shows every evening. They all are in Croatian, though, that most foreigners will probably not understand.

The apartment museum of architect Viktor Kovačić showcases the life style of the 20th century artist. Kovačić is renowned for his design of the National Bank and St. Blaise Church. His apartment has been preserved as it was when he lived there, thanks to his wife, who donated it to the public after Kovačić's death. The museum features three rooms; the illusion of space is created there by mirrors that the architect deliberately placed around the apartment. Among the exhibits are also the 19th century furniture and pictures with religious motifs of the 18th century.
