Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum
Pomorski muzej Sergej Mašera
A maritime museum in the harbor's Gabrielli Palace, displaying navigation history, ship models, and the salt and fishing traditions of Piran.
The museum is named after Sergej Mašera, a Yugoslav naval officer who died in World War II. Inside are many sailing ship models, navigation instruments, underwater archaeological finds, and displays on the salt industry. The palace itself is a 19th-century Neoclassical building. Admission is about €5 to 7, and the museum is closed on Mondays. It is on the harbor, a two-minute walk from Tartini Square.
