In order to connect with the true essence of Split and even the entire region, a visit to the Archaeological Museum in Split is essential. As the oldest museum institution in Croatia,
The Archaeological Museum in Split keeps rare and priceless artefacts preserved within its walls.
But the museum offers more than an indoor experience; it also includes the stunning archaeological site of Salona (in Solin, near Split), an ancient city that was the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia.
Both sites are key to understanding the rich history of this area.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of a journey that goes beyond just sightseeing; it is an adventure of learning about a cultural identity, an invitation to connect with the spirit of Split and its surroundings.
The interior of the museum’s permanent exhibition has been temporarily replaced by the fascinating exhibition Memento Mori, which reveals the customs of the inhabitants of ancient Salona and, for the first time, through modern technology, reveals their appearance! This exhibition provides a unique insight into the lives of those who
once lived in these areas.
By visiting the museum and archaeological site of Salona, you immerse yourself in a comprehensive historical experience
which includes both the monuments in the museum and the once magnificent archaeological site
of the city. Each location offers a unique perspective of the past creating a comprehensive understanding of the area’s cultural heritage.
Do not miss this extraordinary opportunity!
Your adventure begins at the Archaeological Museum in Split, where history comes alive within the walls of the museum and at the ancient site of Salona!
