A must if you’re interested in Rijeka’s history
This museum was a revelation, set in the old headquarters of a sugar company and known as the Sugar Palace, it charts the turbulent history of Rijeka. The displays have all been redesigned as part of the city’s 2020 European City of Culture status and are informative, engaging, interactive and beautiful to look at. All the information is in Croatian and English. The building itself is splendid, elegant design with air conditioning, water coolers and nice toilets. A ‘quick look in’ turned into a visit of over two hours. If you are in the city and want to understand its history, then the Sugar Palace is a must.

Pretty nice hour spent
The museum has many interesting animals and insects, but unfortunately we couldn’t understand all of the writings on the wall as some were only in croatian. We enjoyed the movie that was rolling, the animals were big and we were surprised when we saw them. We were expecting it to be bigger, but everything else was beautiful.
