Museum sights in Dubrovnik

  1. A

    Ethnographic Museum

    The ethnographic heritage of Croatia is catalogued in this museum inside a domed 1903 building. Out of 70,000 items, about 2750 are on display, including ceramics, jewellery, musical instruments, tools, weapons and Croatian folk costumes, including gold-embroidered scarves from Slavonia and lace from the island of Pag. Thanks to donations from the Croatian explorers Mirko and Stevo Seljan, there are also artefacts from South America, the Congo, Ethiopia, China, Japan, New Guinea and Australia. Temporary exhibitions are often held on the 2nd floor.
