The Ethnographic Museum in Split was founded on July 3, 1910 as the first ethnographic museum in Croatia. From the very beginning, ethnologists and curators have focused on researching the traditional and contemporary culture of Dalmatia, which is why most of the items in the museum originate from the area of Dalmatia. This area is very interesting because of two ethnographic cultural zones: the Dinaric-Dalmatian hinterland and the Adriatic. The museum also houses objects from other parts of Croatia, the Balkans and even Europe.
Visitors to this museum can get acquainted with the traditional way of dressing, traditional weapons, examples of traditional handicrafts and furniture.The exhibits include an art collection and a collection of jewelry, caves, weapons, costumes of the Dinaric and Adriatic areas. On the ground floor of the museum, visitors can enjoy the architecture of the exhibition space. The oldest architectural works are related to the very foundations of Diocletian's Palace at the beginning of the 4th century. Within the museum is the church of St. Andreja de Fenestrisa.
