Go there and contact
National Museum of Zadar including the Natural History Department, the Fine Arts Gallery and the Ethnological Department.
In Croatia, the first regional museum was established in Zadar in 1832 in the municipality's historic buildings, to preserve and present to the public the entire Dalmatian heritage, plant and animal species, the region's history and its cultural and ethnological activities. World War II devastated much of the National Museum's exhibition space. In 1945, works and objects were brought back from storage, and the archaeology department was relocated to a separate building. In 1948, the Fine Arts Gallery was created, followed in December 1962 by the People's Revolution Museum. In the early 1960s, all existing museums were centralized by the administration of the National Museum Zadar, which moved into a new building. In the 1970s, the museum was entrusted with overseeing the exhibition of historical and ethnographic collections from the island of Iž, in the Zadar archipelago.
Today, the museum has closed its doors, but maintains an active website listing every exhibition (permanent and temporary) from the city's other establishments, notably :
The Natural History Department (Prirodoslovni muzej). Located on Medulićeva 2.
Fine Arts Gallery (Muzej II Palače). Located on Trg Petra Zoranića 1.
Ethnologicaldepartment (Etnološki muzej). Located on Narodni trg. Historical, cultural and folk collections from Veli and Mali Iz, and the islands of the Zadar archipelago.
