Established in 1994 through the renaming of the Museum of the People's Revolution, the City Museum of Rijeka occupies a modernist building designed by architect Neven Šegvić in 1976, a design that earned the Borba prize. The institution maintains diverse collections spanning artistic crafts, numismatics, photography, theatre and film materials, and World War II documentation. The museum conducts research projects on topics ranging from industrial heritage to emigration patterns and features exhibitions about notable Rijeka residents. Its publications include detailed thematic catalogues exploring specific periods and themes from the city's rich cultural history.
