About Rupe Ethnographic Museum

The Ethnographic Museum was built to focus on life in Croatia which is fast disappearing. In its former life, it was a three-story, brick-built 16th-century granary which was used for storing grain for the residents of the city. Since 1980 the city’s collection of local memorabilia and decorative arts has been beautifully displayed in its spacious galleries. The museum showcases traditional methods of grape harvesting, winemaking, fishing, and weaving, alongside displays of storage bags made of hide and hand-painted Easter eggs. The main highlights of the exhibition on the second floor are all about rural life in the Dalmatian region, which displays the colourful peasant costumes, embroidered textiles, and hand-made lace shawls. It's a very unique way of displaying the culture of the land.
