Best time to visit
Morning on weekdays, right after opening, for quieter rooms and staff available for questions. Spring and autumn avoid heavy summer tourist flows and high temperatures.
Budget tips
Admission is modest, typically 20–40 HRK, with reduced fares for students and seniors and free entry for small children; check the museum website for current prices. Look for free-entry events like International Museum Day and Night of Museums, and consider a city attraction pass such as the Split Card when available to save money.

About
クイックファクト: Step into dim, cool galleries where the hush and soft spotlights make a finely chiseled Roman statue feel startlingly alive. Hidden treasures range from delicate glassware to carved inscriptions, together telling vivid stories of daily life, religion, and craftsmanship across centuries.
ハイライト: You can wander among dozens of Roman funerary stones and marble portrait heads pulled from nearby Salona, many weathered and pitted with greenish lichen, their Latin inscriptions still readable after more than 1,800 years. A quirky local habit survives: before leaving, many visitors quietly press the cool tesserae of a battered 3rd-century ship mosaic to wish fishermen good luck, a gesture that still leaves faint fingerprints on the stone.
Insider tips
- Arrive at opening to avoid school groups and enjoy quiet galleries.
- Wear comfortable shoes because floors and staircases in the historic building can be uneven.
- Ask staff about tactile or child-friendly displays if visiting with children, or skip some of the smaller domestic archaeology rooms if short on time.
- Use a wide-angle lens for mosaics and sarcophagi and avoid flash photography on fragile exhibits.
