Reviews
I really enjoyed this museum. The museum is small and as such all exhibitions are only temporary but this means that you can see different things each time. The current 1918 exhibition gives great insight to the Croatian aspects of WW1
Been here last weekend. I generally liked the museum, it's a limited number of items on display, that can't be helped. They had a temporary exhibition on the Roman settlement of Bribir and some permanent exhibition on the general Croatian history. At times the English text didn't make sense and was hard to follow. However, the WORST thing was that the staff at the museum entrance on the second floor just KEPT TALKING LOUDLY for the hour I was in. Stupid.
Interesting but a lot of reading. It is a bit hard since English text is in much smaller font. I guess with guide would be nicer to go though exhibition.
