Archaeological Museum Zadar
Arheološki muzej Zadar
The second-oldest museum in Croatia, with collections covering prehistoric, Liburnian, Roman, and early medieval artifacts.
The museum was founded in 1832 and is located on the north side of the Roman Forum. Its three floors of galleries are arranged chronologically. The top floor displays prehistoric and Liburnian artifacts, the middle floor holds Roman statues and tombstones along with a reconstruction model of the Roman Forum, and the ground floor showcases stone carvings from early medieval Croatia. It suits visitors who want to understand Zadar's three-thousand-year history. A visit typically takes about an hour, and admission is a few euros.
