"The Ethnographic Museum is located in a quiet part of the Palace, near where the emperor’s chambers used to be. The secluded area is actually one of my favorite parts of the Palace, because it feels so peaceful and has a beautiful view of the tower as well as the Riva. The museum showcases the history of Croatian people through everyday objects like clothing, jewelry, pottery, furniture and weapons. Right next to the front desk of the museum is a table with handmade glasswork. If you’re lucky, you might catch someone crafting a beautiful glass pendant. A really mesmerizing process." - Leslie Yeh

If you have interest in cultural textiles, definitely visit this museum. They have many gorgeous examples of historical dress! You can also access the remains of the Church of St Andrew de Fenestris from inside.

Very quiet when I visited, I guess more tourists go for the boat trips, but I came to Split for the history & culture. I've been to Ethnographic museums in many countries around the World. The emphasis of the exhibition here is on the traditional costums worn by dalmatian & coastal people in previous centuries. But I would like to have learnt more about how people lived and worked in those times.

Become immersed in the clothing, lifestyle, work and culture of the region and the country with an hour's visit to this well organised Museum. Most exhibits have translation into English. The staff are friendly and entry is free if you have the Split tourist card, which is itself free if you are staying for 5 nights. It is a huge space inside the historic walls of Diocletian Palace, so, even if it's busy, you won't feel crowded.

Free entrance with your (free )Split Card. Beautiful part of the old town. Exhibits are in Croatian and English and feature mostly traditional clothing, jewelry and furniture. Worth an hour of your time. The building itself is gorgeous.

Fantastic, small museum with a collection of traditional arts and crafts objects from Croatian culture. In addition, it gives you access to the Vestibule terrace, with a breathtaking view of the old town. It’s free with the Split card, and only 3eur entrance for a regular ticket.

The best museum in Split! Great exhibition of regional historical costume and other local cultural history. Well laid out and spacious, and has an outside terrace with chairs to enjoy the view. It’s also possible to climb to the top of the palace for great views of the city around the open dome of the palace.

Amazing exhibitions; permanent ones with traditional costumes, jewellery and furniture from the olden days and visiting ones about the sea and fishing, long traditions of Croatian coast. I have learned so much, thank you!
