"Ivan Meštrović was undoubtedly Croatia’s greatest sculptor. In 1952, he donated his magnificent summer residence located in the foothills of Marjan Forest Park to the state, along with many of his works. Located a mere 20-minute walk from Riva, the collection includes some 190 sculptures, along with 900 drawings, paintings and architectural plans."

A short walk from Split is this imposing gallery. Well worth the effort and not overwhelmed with tourists. Plenty of artworks to suit all interests and in all materials. Ivan Metrovic had his workshop here and lived here, the building itself is impressive, but not overwhelming. And the view from is something not many tourists enjoy. There are steps to navigate but once inside it is cool and relaxed with space to stand back and enjoy these examples of Metric's creativity. The building is surrounded by a Mediterranean garden and serves as a popular wedding venue. Check what is on before you plan your visit. Not an expensive visit with accessible toilets too.

Lovely garden and sculptures. Unfortunately the building is being renovated so you can’t enter the building. But tickets were half price, and included entry to the church just down the road. The sculptures were well worth a look.

What a gorgeous location. During my visit the gallery was closed due to renovations, so I was only able to visit the gardens featuring about a dozen sculptures. Nothing was labeled (or I completely missed this), probably can buy a guide at the ticket office/gift shop. The architecture and gardens are beautiful, it was very serene with a few visitors around. Stunning views of the Adriatic and a reasonably nice view of the Marjan hill (the cross and the flag) due to construction work. The tickets were discounted and also included entry to Crikvine-Kaštelet, located a 10-minute walk up the road.

The gallery was closed for reconstruction, so we were only allowed to visit the garden area and then the small church ~400 meters away by the sea, but overall experience was pretty pleasant, people working there were nice and it's a great location to take some memorable photos to bring from your vacation

When I visited the Gallery the inner part of the main museum was closed for renovations, but even the garden part and the church worth the visit. Beautiful and calm place.

Nice decent price unfortunately a lot of the gallery was closed when we visited but the tickets were discounted. Spacious and tranquil, really helpful and friendly staff who directed us to the church down the road which had a beautiful coastal view. And nice toilet’s probably some of the best in Split.

The gallery was closed because of the renovation. Only the garden and Chapel were open fir visitors. I really enjoyed the sculptures in the garden.

An interesting building with a small garden populated with some of the artist"s bronze sculptures. The staff were up front about the fact that the building was closed for renovations meaning most of the exhibits were unavailable, and the price was discounted accordingly. The ticket also includes the former church a little further along the road. Watch out for the cute little tortoises in the garden
