Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik (MOMAD), Dubrovnik

Housed in a beautiful mansion built in 1935 for the Croatian shipping magnate Božo Banac, the Museum of Modern Art came to its present location in 1948. The building is a combination of Renaissance and Gothic styling. Even if art is not tops on the visit list, the mansion and grounds alone are worth the visit.

The art inside the museum may not be well known to those who are not true art aficionados. That does not mean that it isn't worth seeing. Quite the contrary, this is an incredible chance to become familiar with little known but important works of art. The display area includes the majestic palace, plus the breathtaking mansion grounds that include magnificent views of the sea. There are over 2,000 works of art to peruse that include bronzes, impressionist pieces, and minimalist works.

Why You Should Visit:
Between the paintings, sculptures, gardens and the newly renovated mansion, this is a wonderful way to pass an hour or more.
Interesting permanent collection of Croatian artists, plus temporary exhibitions by international artists.
It is one of the Dubrovnik city museums you can visit on a day pass ticket, as well.

Tip:
Before you go, find out what is on and if you're not sure then do a quick google to see if it's the type of exhibit you'll enjoy.
Be aware that the gallery is on three floors only accessible by stairs – no lift.
