Branka told of some of the traditions such as how the bride's family would fool the groom with a "false" bride when he came to pick her up. Or how as soon as young girls could, they would start embroidering towels and other items to give to guests at her wedding.

Watch the video of the tour.

The exhibit shows the dresses and colorful headdresses for the brides and the towels (Rucnici) that the groom and other men wore. Various regions of Croatia are represented.

Admission is free. Here are a few more images from the Croatian Wedding Traditions exhibit.
