Marko Polo Centar

The Marco Polo House in Korčula, Croatia, is less of a traditional museum and more of a cultural center and gift shop dedicated to reimagining Marco Polo’s life. Inside, you’ll find displays of what his maps, tools, and diaries might have looked like, as well as exhibits highlighting the many places he traveled and explored. The highlight is the lookout point at the top of the center, where you get a direct view over the city and the beautiful Saint Mark’s Cathedral. It’s a small but fascinating stop that offers both history and stunning views, and admission is only 6 euros.

One of the most gorgeous towns I’ve ever seen. Buildings from the 13-15th century so beautifully kept. Amazing food, emerald waters and every corner had wine, gelato, fish, and pizza to die for. Go, u may never leave. 🫶♾️🇭🇷

Possibly the worst exhibit I’ve seen recently. They must not actually believe Marco Polo was from here. All 6 TV screens were not working. Half the displays were empty. No information or guide document. The last room …every door open and empty. Really weird.

As my mother put it "Marco Polo had less trouble on his journey than we did navigating this museum." This was the only thing we experienced in all of Korčula that I don't recommend. Such an embarrassing and poorly done exhibit. After wandering around trying to make sense of the numbers and arrows, I went back downstairs to ask the employee if there was a guide book or brochure. He said "no, but you can have this" and gave me a map that required an actual magnifier to use (see photo). Only 1 of the multimedia screens was working, so we missed a lot of information. The "artifacts" were mostly replicas or irrelevant knick knacks (items from the silk road circa the 20th century...). It seemed that several exhibits had been removed, and the "library" was empty (see photo). The only redeeming feature was the view from the tower. The order was confusing as well - it seems to start in the middle and you end up in the beginning only to have to walk back the way you came. Don't waste your time.

Nice museum with AC running during summer hot days. Third floor AC was broken but experience was great and place was clean

Totally enjoyed this self guided tour. Love the maps, the film and the exhibits that told you more about Marco Polo. Beautiful view from the top.

A special two weeks on the island... I was particularly captivated by the old town and sunbathing on one of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic for me Proizd. Special time - Every now and then I was attacked by animals. They started on arrival

By the time I got there it was closed but reading the reviews it seems that I haven't missed much.
