excellent well laid out tour with great information
Worth a trip. Very interesting.
Absolutely worth visiting. Interesting and informative. We teally enjoyed our visit. Loved that it was interactive. Totally recommended for all ages.
Just a very great experience. Found it by chance, but spent there a good couple of hours! The interactivity is great, and it connects you with all your senses!
An interesting couple of hours in what felt like a trip back in time. There’s a lot of reading and the museum would be improved by a more interactive experience. I enjoyed the video footage. The photo essays were good too.
A fascinating view of life in Yugoslavia, warts and all. There's a balanced account of 20th century Yugoslavian politics, covering the period leading up to WW2, the establishment of the Tito era and the disintegration of the regime following his death. There's also a trip through Mid Century Modern styling of 60s Yugoslavia. Some of that furniture would fetch a fortune at Camden Market. An emphasis on the everyday lives of ordinary families, shown through donated photographs. Excellent museum.
The weather was bad, and I happened to find it while I was going around museums in the old town. (It didn't come up when I searched for museums on Google Maps.) It looked interesting, so I went in and suddenly found out that he was the owner. When someone seemed to enter, they started explaining the building in English. Of course I had no idea, but I was able to enter safely. The content is quite maniacal, from the formation of the Communist Party, to the independence of Yugo, to the daily necessities of the time. But it was punchy and interesting.
Sad to just read a lot of signs. Interesting subject and certainly more fun for those who lived in the country during communism and recognized the few objects that existed.
We are staying in Dubrovnik for a few weeks and this was on my list to visit. The location is right by the Gruz cruise port so would be a great excursion for people on their own at port. We ended up spending almost three hours here as there is so much to see and understand Yugoslavia, how they got there and how it all unraveled. It’s interactive, so open the cabinets and explore! Thru even had music of the era you could listen to, movies you can watch (heartbreaking) and other inventions of the time, like the kiosk. They also had a VR headset so you can ‘walk thru’ the old factory that was on the site before. You can grab a beer on the patio afterward if you want. It’s got AC but it’s not super cool in there. Bring your reading glasses as well. Well worth the time to learn about this time.
Very nice museum with lots to see! Interesting artifacts and not only placates to read. I'm not huge history buff but my boyfriend is, and we both enjoyed our visit a lot. Not very big place, but definitely worth the price, 9e/adult and 7,5e/student.
