It’s been a long and expensive process but Dubrovnik’s Natural History Museum has just opened. Founded in 1872, the museum has had difficulty finding a permanent home. It was moved during the 1990s war and was housed temporarily in Zagreb and on Lokrum Island. Under construction since 2003, the new museum has cost the city 7million kuna (€938,000).
The museum is known for its rare ornithological collection and, as Dubrovnik Mayor Dubravka Suica pointe out in her inauguration of the museum, will be both a tourist attraction and a testament to the richness of the region’s natural heritage.
Dubrovnik citizens are all for it, except. . .why is the museum only open workdays 10am to 2pm? When do the hardworking locals get to see it?
