Dubrovnik Natural History Museum

Very small, very hot. More like art gallery, not enough exhibits. All floor is dedicated to mosquitos, 1 tiny room butterflies, 1 room with sharks and fish. Not worth visiting

Very interesting museum with really innovative design. Probably calling it a design museum would fit better. The quiet museum is in stark contrast with other places where there are too many tourists. There are not so many collections and you have to climb three floors, but the atmosphere is great.

The museum feels like a triumph of design over content. There is enormous amount of display space given to the story of the museum and is curators and benefactors. Maybe this is important in Dubrovnik for local people but it has very little significance to those visiting from outside. Other displays look very pretty but the actual amount of accessible 'natural history' material is small. Maybe the museum has little actual display material to offer visitors? The museum is on three floors with no lift, so be prepared for some steep climbing (although that's true of everywhere in Dubrovnik so it is no surprise).

Included in the Dubrovnik Card (1/3/7) The number of exhibits is fairly small, but what you'd expect. The quality, on the other hand, is fantastic! I fell in love with the "Under pressure" exhibition. Highly recommend checking the museum out. You should be done with it in 30-90 mins (depending on your appreciation of the informational texts accompanying the exhibits).

Not so much to see here, seems to be more suited and focused on children. Only a few objects in the collection that really concern 'natural history'. Decoration of expositions is great though.
