   <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>With its pedestrianised Old Town ringed by medieval and Renaissance walls, and its shiny marble lanes lined with Baroque palaces and stone townhouses, you could argue that Dubrovnik itself is an open-air museum. Indeed, 2024 marks the 45th anniversary of the Old Town\u2019s UNESCO World Heritage status. Many visitors are content with walking the city walls, catching glimpses of day-to-day life down below, bowled over by the beauty of its location alongside the twinkling waters of the Adriatic. Others are simply unaware of the cultural treasures within Dubrovnik\u2019s historic buildings.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most striking museum settings in the Old Town is the Rector\u2019s Palace, a magnificent colonnaded mansion with parts dating from the 15th century. Behind its graceful arches lies the Cultural History Museum, a window into the former republic of Ragusa, as Dubrovnik was known from 1358 to 1808. Other Renaissance palaces and townhouses in the Old Town \u2013 many, including the Rector\u2019s Palace, rebuilt in Baroque style after the 1667 earthquake \u2013 are also home to fascinating collections that range from ethnographic and maritime to natural history and war photography.<\/p>\n<p>Both the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries, which top and tail the Old Town\u2019s main artery, Stradun, hold collections of art and artefacts, while the history of Dubrovnik\u2019s small Jewish community is revealed within its 14th-century synagogue, set in an alley that\u2019s easy to miss.<\/p>\n<p>Walk outside the Old Town\u2019s southern Plo\u010de Gate and you\u2019ll find an impressive 1930s villa that houses the Museum of Modern Art. Just beyond the Pile Gate, at the Old Town\u2019s northern end, is the latest addition to Dubrovnik\u2019s cultural scene: the Wine Museum. And as an antidote to Zagreb\u2019s Museum of Broken Relationships, the Love Stories Museum is a place of \u2018happily ever afters\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>In the Gru\u017e ferry port is the Red History Museum, which delves into the story of Yugoslavia, while the more recent past is evoked in the Homeland War Museum at the top of Mount Sr\u0111, whose cable car includes a ticket to the museum. A Dubrovnik Pass\u00a0includes free entry to 11 museums, houses and galleries, the city walls and public transport.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-573637\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <style type=\"text\/css\">.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-article-image{flex-wrap:wrap;justify-content:center}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-article-image .wak-title{text-align:left;width:100%}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-article-image .wak-title+picture{margin-top:40px}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-article-image .wak-caption{color:gray;margin-top:8px;text-align:right;width:100%}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-article-image+.wak-acf-block-article-image,.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-article-image+.wak-acf-block-copy-content,.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-article-image+.wak-acf-block-image-carousel{margin-top:80px}<\/style>        \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">1.

Over a decade later, he set up War Photo Limited, a gallery devoted to war photography not just in the former Yugoslavia but also from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Tucked away off the Stradun, the gallery exhibits works from award-winning photographers and has a permanent collection that includes images from wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo, as well as a roster of temporary exhibitions on what daily life is like in conflict zones. The result is thought-provoking and powerful. There is also a collection of limited-edition signed prints to buy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information: <\/strong>Closed Nov\u2013Mar; <a href=\"https:\/\/warphotoltd.com\/\">warphotoltd.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/inspiration\/trogir-croatia-world-heritage\/\">Explore the World Heritage wonder of Trogir, Croatia<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-sidebar-content\" data-ad=\"in_content_2\"><div id=\"wak-acf-block-340864\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-content-layout-default wak-acf-block-advert wak-ad-in_content_2\" data-placement-id=\"63377\" data-advert-visible=\"1\">\n    \n    <div class=\"wak-advert-container\">\n        \n            <div id=\"div-gpt-ad-63377\">\n                <script>\n                    googletag.cmd.push(() => { \n                        googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-63377'); \n                    });\n                <\/script>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"wak-acf-block-164347\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><h3>4. Maritime Museum<\/h3>\n<p>Housed across two floors of the hulking 14th-century Sveti Ivan Fortress, this museum reveals how the Republic of Ragusa became a major maritime force, focusing especially on the period spanning the 14th and 16th centuries. It guides you through this rich history via a sizeable collection, including numerous models of galleons, various treasures found in shipwrecks and cannons, maps, charts and oil paintings.<\/p>\n<p>When the museum was founded in 1949, it was the residents of Dubrovnik who donated many of the original artefacts. Look out for the illuminated painting of the port before the 1667 earthquake. There\u2019s also a selection of photographs showing Dubrovnik in flames when it was under siege by the Yugoslav army (1991\u201392).<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information: <\/strong>Closed Wednesday; <a href=\"https:\/\/dumus.hr\/\">dumus.hr<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n<div id=\"wak-acf-block-714820\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><h2>Best of the rest<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Homeland War Museum<\/h3>\n<p>When Dubrovnik was under siege by Yugoslavia (1991\u201392), its front line of defence was Fort Imperial, built by Napoleon\u2019s troops in the early 17th century on Mount Sr\u0111.
