Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments

It’s free and worth a visit if you have time to kill in Split. The museum is about a 20 min walk from the main centre of Split and contains interesting artefacts such as ancient coins and sarcophagus. Learn about Queen Jelana, King Justin and lots of other interesting people throughout history. The museum could do with a renovation and there was a lot of space for the number of items on display. There wasn’t any air conditioning so it was very warm inside, but we were the only people in there and there was a lot of space so it wasn’t so bad. The top floor doesn’t have any English translation. Overall, an interesting place to visit and better than some places where I’ve had to pay an admission fee.

Unfortunately the museum is almost empty only a few big objects in te main hall(picture) and a very small exhibition. Very underwhelming and sad to see so little of Croatian history. Also there is no explanation what so every about the objects that are there.

I’m a huge fan of museums wherever I travel, but this one had given up the ghost awhile back. Large empty exhibits, handwritten notes on the walls, a piano in the middle of the main hall and a strange American woman sprawled out relaxing. On top of this no air conditioning in the middle of summer.

Beautiful space with some important artefacts from Croatia's turbulent past. The coin collection is quite impressive. And the reconstruction of the medieval warrior's head is fascinating. The building deserves a cafeteria and specialist shop.

We had a wonderful family visit to the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments. The exhibits were fascinating and well-maintained, offering a captivating glimpse into Croatian history. Our sons thoroughly enjoyed the children's activities and were engaged throughout our visit. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful, making our experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in history and culture.

Worth a visit, and the cost was free. Not very many exhibits. The building was hit repeatedly by the Serbs during the war of succession, and the permanent collection was relocated to Belgrade early on, and never returned. The garden on the upper level was nice, and not as warm as the interior, as the air conditioning wasn't on. No other visitors when we were there, so an escape from the crowds.

Firstly, it's a free museum, so worth a visit whatever reviews say! It's in a very large building, but it feels a bit empty. What's there is interesting. Most of the explanations are in English so you understand what you're looking at. Mostly medieval coins, armour and pieces of buildings.

Do not confuse this with the similarly named “Museum of Archaeology” which is still open.
