If you visit museum of Brač make sure to go when the curator is there (untill 4pm). She is really an amazing storyteller about all the things Brač has to offer. She knows literally everthing and she presents it in a way you really get the vivid picture. Be prepared for a lot of information, cause her knowledge just doesnt stop. We (me and my girlfriend) were very pleased with the visit but also a bit exhausted from all the data. Highly recommend!
