Intimate 1925 museum offering a small gallery with maritime relics & art, plus a life-sized boat.via Google

Housed inside a 17th-century fortress, it details the region's rich naval history, model ships, and weaponry.

Good to know
Great views from the fortress walls outside.

3.50 euros entry. I was the only visiter. It was fantastic. Coming from Rijeka recently and having seen the Sugar palace exhibits, this museum was a great addition to my knowledge of Croatian history and the homeland fight for independence. There were many great exhibits the stand out being the scale models of the ships, the paintings and the torpedo section. Then I walked out and found there was an outdoor section including most of a ship embedded into the side of the Gruoe Palace. Fantastic.

Very reasonably priced entrance. 7.0 euros for 2. IT didn't disappoint. Great maritime history with some information boards in England. A vast amount of history to enjoy not much reading. Did the whole museum I an hour. You could take longer if you stopped at each item. Was split into civilian, military and outside. Outside had part of a huge ship you could get on perfect opertunity for a photo. And the ship was made in the isle of white. Lovely place, no cafe or anything but it was air conditioned so we didn't mind :)

Must see museum in Split, suitable for all audiences. The VR experience is interesting and immersive. All the exhibits are charming in their way, but the ship replicas take the cake. Just for 3.5€ it's an amazing experience. Don't miss the ship outside! P.S. free parking is available in the courtyard if you're lucky and find a spot, it's mostly used by the locals

Very interesting museum showing history of both military and civilian shipping along Croatian coast. Just outside of historic centre of Split so not crowded. I enjoyed my visit.

Cool museum for people who interested in history of boat and machinery. Entry is €3.50 per adult. The outside part is free entry. Plenty of parking. When we were the on Saturday afternoon, there was noone is around apart from two of us. Also they have some good viewing spots of Split!
