Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia
4.5 (54 reviews) Friday: 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #9 in Rijeka History Museums
Interesting discovery about Rijeka history
THE MARITIME AND HISTORY MUSEUM OF THE CROATIAN LITTORAL has been one of the most important meeting-places of culture in the city of Rijeka for the last four decades. With its permanent display and many valuable exhibitions from its own holdings or of other Croatian museums it takes part in tracing the important events connected with the history and culture of Rijeka, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and Croatia, and so it reveals small parts of the insufficiently known past. With its research into the complex materials (of archaeological, ethnographical, artistic, cultural-historical and maritime-historical characteristics), in a time span from prehistory to the Modern Age, with expert and scientific methods it processes, systemises and presents the role and development of the whole of the social organism in the region of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, the Croatian Littoral and the city of Rijeka and points out its specific and interactive relationship with other European centres over a thousand year period, with the aim of becoming a dynamic, open and educative institution. With its headquarters in the building of the former Governor’s Palace, a protected cultural monument, as exhibit number 1, the museum with an interdisciplinary approach offers the consideration–identification, familiarisation and understanding of the character of the people and places, memories and myths, uncovering the identity, which represents an unbreakable link of the past and present.

Impressive building
It´s one of those museums where the building is more remarkable than the exhibits. And still, there are some interesting things on display. The staircase and the courtyard are the highlights. The rest is a peculiar mixture of antique furniture and paintings that make this museum look more like a palace. The modern art exhibitiion and the Homeland War memorials look out of place.It´s an excellent choice for a rainy day.

Discover ancien world around Rijeka
Thanks to TanjaD for her review, it helped a lot to find the best thing in Rijeka. Nowadays interactive games are so popular, anyway,the collection of the museum is more than playing some moments of history. It is planned according to a complex methodology. You might discover different layers of life from the past, not only objects found later, but connections among the objects and relations among the cultures. The team is promising to extend the interactive part in the nearest future, might be next year.
