Etnografski muzej Split

The Ethnographic Museum Split is located right next to the Peristyle, the central square of the diocese. Its history goes back to the days of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, when the museum's statute was approved in 1913. The collection was started by the engineer Kamilo Tončić, who from 1909 displayed ethnographic exhibits at the local trade school in order to preserve folk traditions. After several moves, including one to the old city administration building, the museum now houses its holdings in the Old Town. The collection includes ethnographic cycles, documentation archives, and a library. Here you can discover traditional Dalmatian costumes and the history of local crafts. The museum also offers expert-led tours, lectures, and organized exhibitions that give you a deep insight into the cultural history of the region.
