Rovinj Heritage Museum, Rovinj

The Rovinj Heritage Museum has a rich and artistic history. Established in 1954 by a group of local Rovinj artists, the museum was envisioned not only as a place for preserving cultural wealth but also as a venue for showcasing the works of artists.

Since its inception in 1954, the Rovinj Heritage Museum has diligently curated a valuable collection that spans various realms of art and culture. This includes a diverse assortment of modern artworks, as well as pieces from old masters of art. The museum also boasts a significant collection of archaeological artifacts, ethnological items, historical books, documents, and a fascinating compilation of photographs related to the partisan battalion led by Pino Budicin.

The Rovinj Heritage Museum, however, faces constraints due to limited space, which prevent it from displaying its extensive collection in its entirety. Nonetheless, the museum is a cultural gem, and the sections open to the public offer a rich glimpse into the town's heritage and artistic legacy.

This museum is housed within the elegant Baroque palace of the Counts Califfi, a structure that embodies the architectural charm of the 17th and 18th centuries. You can find the Rovinj Heritage Museum located at Square Marshal Tito, where visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant cultural tapestry of this delightful coastal town.
