Mjenjačnica ("The Exchange Office") was a Croatian documentary reality television series created and hosted by Robert Knjaz. The series documents prominent Croatian public figures as they exchange roles with the members of the working class.
Mjenjačnica debuted on RTL on 12 January 2005, and concluded with its second and final season on 30 May 2006. The series has later been re-run on RTL 2 and re-released on RTL's streaming service Voyo.[1]
Following the conclusion of Mjenjačnica, Knjaz created Koledžicom po svijetu, a similar series where celebrities were taken to exotic destinations; it premiered on RTL in 2007. In 2023, Knjaz went on to create Knjazalište, another series similar to Mjenjačnica that ran on HRT 1.[2]
The series features well-known figures from Croatian public life who, for one day, switch roles with individuals from working-class or rural backgrounds. The celebrities learn about the job and experience a different side of life, helping viewers with confronting their own prejudices about various professions.[3][4][5]
