Museum of Arts and Crafts

This 19th-century building was one of the first to be custom-designed museums in Europe and contains a spectacular collection of glasses and tapestries.

Reviewed By LolaGo1 - Washington DC, United States

I was totally impressed by the number and variety of exhibits on display. As I walked from the first floor to the third floor, I kept saying, " wow!". The exhibits include religious statues, paintings, priests' vestments, exquisite wood furnitures, porcelains, bells, clocks, gowns. etc. The three female employees I met during my visit were all very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended to visit! Entrance fee is 40 kunas per person, reduced to 20 kunas for children and seniors.

Excellent displays which were in English and Croatian made visiting this amazing museum a pleasure. The well organized layout, uncluttered display of artifacts and well lit rooms made the tour of the building an easy and educational stop for an afternoon.

Croatian Museum of Naive Art

Reviewed By SESNoVA - Annandale, United States

Even if you know nothing about the Naive Art movement, you'll find paintings to enjoy in this four room museum. Climb the winding stairs to the upper level to pay for your ticket, and walk into a series of rooms with well-lit and interesting pieces. Even without studying or being trained, these artists painted some fascinating pieces.

Absolutely fantastic experience - went in the evening so had place to ourselves, was only a 20-30 minute trip but for the price was completely worth it. The most unique and enjoyment museum I have every been in, as well as learning informative information on the history of the stuffed frogs and their taxidermy! Completely recommend to all if you want a laugh and to learn something new

Malo Grablje

Reviewed By DutchWalker - Nijmegen, The Netherlands

We visited this place for its restaurant, which is excellent but that’s for another review. De city of Malo Grablje is completely abandoned around 1960, apparently due to a disease that destroyed the olives / wine yards. The city is left as is and is slowly being taken apart my nature, so be careful if you decide to enter one of the houses. It’s a really beautiful place to walk around. We might go back for some of the hiking trails that start there. There is an hotel/apartment place build at the edge of the village, so for how long this place stays abandoned is the question.

Sibenik City Museum

Reviewed By MrMoreLight - Montreal, Canada

One of the best small museums we visited in all of Croatia, they are really tourist friendly. Laid out on multi levels inside the old palace, you will go through a great time travel of the area with excellent explanations in English and modern layouts of exhibits. Easy to stroll, plenty of space, great for pictures, a model for other museums in the country. Not expensive for the quality of the content. I thought it would take an hour to cover, but closer to two hours if you want to see and read everything. Well-worth the visit.
