Croatian Maritime Museum — Attraction in Grad Split

During our recent visit to the Maritime Museum in Split, we were fortunate enough to experience unparalleled hospitality, thanks to the exceptional kindness of Petra. Petra graciously took the time to show our group of teachers around the museum, enhancing our visit with her expertise and passion for maritime history. Petra's dedication and warmth truly exemplify the welcoming spirit of the Maritime Museum. Her willingness to go above and beyond to ensure our visit was memorable is commendable and greatly appreciated. We were thoroughly impressed by the museum's extensive collection, which offers a fascinating glimpse into Croatia's rich maritime heritage. The exhibits were thoughtfully curated and provided valuable insights into the region's seafaring traditions.

We eagerly anticipate the possibility of future collaborations with the Maritime Museum, building upon the foundation of excellence that Petra exemplifies.
