Museum of Croatian War of Independence, Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik’s Homeland War Museum occupies Fort Imperial on Mount Srđ, a place directly connected with the city’s defence in 1991. Its exhibition on Dubrovnik during the 1991–1995 war brings together documents, military maps, photographs, video recordings and everyday objects. The material addresses residents’ experience of the siege alongside the course of military events in the surrounding area. Imperial’s position allows visitors to relate the city below to locations appearing in the museum’s records. The exhibition consequently adds recent historical context to a panoramic visit to Srđ, with the fortified rooms themselves forming a significant part of the experience.
