Natural History Museum (Dubrovnik)

Dubrovnik’s Natural History Museum is at Androvićeva 1 in the historic centre. Its collections cover birds, fish, mammals, molluscs, algae, geological material, minerals and rocks. Thematic displays can therefore connect the local environment with specimens gathered elsewhere in the world. The collections trace their history to the nineteenth-century Domorodni Museum, while the natural history institution reopened in Andrović Palace in 2009. For families ready to move from the city walls to animal forms, shells and skeletons, it provides a distinctly different perspective from the political and maritime history explored by Dubrovnik’s other museums.
