The museum currently has a temporary exhibit of burial artifacts inside the building and hundreds of Roman artifacts outside in the main courtyard. The free audio guides (website via QR codes) are very informative and interesting. €8 per adult to enter or €10 for both this museum and the Salona Archeological site.
I/we appreciated what we have seen, especially rose got to exhibited in open air… however the open air part needs a regular maintenance just so they don’t look so much like “I’m the ruins” … 🤡
Small archaelogical museum, with an exhibition mainly based on church history of the area and history of Salona. Also a big lapidarium. I recommend to buy the combined ticket for Salona and the museum.
I loved this place and want to give it five stars but most of the information inside is in Croatian only and not English. The outside takes as much time and is filled with excellent archeological finds from the area. Inside, various rooms are divided into eras and themes. One of the rooms is dedicated to caves that served as retreats and meditation centers which I wish had the information provided in English. I had to use my phone to get an idea of some of the information. Upstairs there are some more modern pieces and history of the building.
Wonderful place for anyone interested in the Roman archaeological finds in this area. An impressive but randomly organised collection of stone carvings displayed around the sides of a quadrangle. Sarcophagi, Headstones etc some as old as first century. A small indoor collection of artifacts in the main building is less interesting with French but no English descriptions. I understand this is because it's sponsored by the French government. In the interior of the quadrangle are reproduced Roman stoneworks; less interesting than the original pieces around the sides. I was amazed to be the only person there during my visit. There are labels on many of the items in English, but for more detailed information you can scan the QR codes for audio.
