Visit the Archaeological Museum of Istria

Through our collections, spanning periods from prehistory to the modern period, you will discover a cross-section of life that unfolded in this region. Each artefact tells its own story, and together they form an unforgettable journey through Istria's past.

The museum is currently closed for the preparation of a new permanent exhibition.
