We stumbled into this shop. Wasn't really interested in the shop itself but the venue. It was originally the Dominican monastery of St. Nicholas and in the 18th it became a military barrack under Austrian rule. See the photo of the plaque of the area.

If your interested in the history of Kotor then this is a must do. Pretty cheap fee 4 euro and audio guides are available if you want them. The display of weaponry is quite fascinating and the model ships intricate and cool. Not too sure about the warrior replica? Definitely a place to visit whilst in Kotor.

Cats Museum

Cats Museum was founded in 2013. It is located in the middle of the Old town of Kotor, in the area of the antique monastery of Our lady of Angels, which belonged to the nuns of Santa Clara. This area, currently open to the public, used to be an antique refectory, unfortunately unrecognizable due to numerous reconstructions which followed after the abolition of the religious community. The biggest part of the Museum's collection comes from Venice, more precisely from the fund of the International Centre for Adopting Cats "Badoer" enriched by the substantial donation from countess Francesca Montereale di Mantica. The exhibition contains engravings (XVI-XIX c), antique books (XVI-XIX c), coins, medals (XIX -XX c), illustrated postcards (1891-1950), greeting cards, old photographs, cinematographic posters, sheet music, records, old advertisements, various objects, stamps, etc. One big section is dedicated to the Cat exhibitions before the First World War as well as to the children through the most common school items: notebooks, infant books, etc. The museum's goal is that, through the cat as the most common pet, the public gets a message of respect for the environment and the nature, each day more and more threatened by men. On request, The Museum organizes traveling exhibitions in various European countries and within its possibilities constantly buys pieces that can enrich its collection. Furthermore, the museum is available to host exhibitions featuring the works of contemporary artists who are interested to organize their art events in Kotor. A certain percentage from its income is spent on buying food for the street cats.

If you want cat magnets, this is the place to go to, a whole room dedicated to cat magnets, perfect for the cat lover. I only saw the sign of the quirky place and decided to take a stroll there. Worth a little visit.
