Museums and galleries in Split
Split has a long tradition of collecting and caring
for monuments. This interest appeared as early as
the Renaissance.
At the beginning of the XVIth century, a collection
of Antique stone epitaphs was stored in the home of
the Split nobleman Dmino Papalic (today's City Museum)
and they were described in one of his friend's, Marko
Marulic's, tracts.
The Archbishop's Museum was founded by mid-XVIIIth
century, and in 1820 the Archeological Museum, the
oldest Croatian Museum.
These were followed by the other museums and galleries
in Split which keep and exhibit various forms of
human achievements in this area where life, pulsating
here since pre-historic times, has created a recognizable
of autochtonous creativity and different outside
influences.
