Archaeological Museum Dubrovnik
In 1872, the Patriotic Museum opened its doors in the enchanting city of Dubrovnik. By mid-1873, the first museum exhibit graced the commune building, showcasing treasures primarily from the Dubrovnik Republic era. Among these remarkable pieces, the archaeological artifacts truly captured attention: think Egyptian mummies, elegant Greek vases, and ancient amphorae. These incredible items were generously donated by collectors, influential patrician families, sailors, and Dubrovnik locals who had ventured far from home. Leading the charge were the Amerling brothers, passionate about the museum's creation, who donated a significant collection of Egyptian, Oriental, and Japanese objects, along with birds, minerals, and various rarities. In 1882, the museum's collection grew even richer thanks to Arthur Evans, a world-renowned archaeologist. Evans, who spearheaded archaeological exploration in the Dubrovnik area, gifted three Roman funerary inscriptions from Cavtat to the museum. These became the first entries in the museum's book of donated and purchased objects. As the field of archaeology began to take shape in Croatia during the early 20th century, enthusiasts gathered around the Dubrovnik branch of the Croatian Antiquarian Society in Knin. The Braće Hrvatskog Zmaja took on the task of investigating the ruins of the Church of St. Stephen, which later became a temporary home for pre-Romanesque sculptures. For anyone visiting Dubrovnik, the museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Its walls are alive with stories of ancient civilizations and the passionate individuals who have dedicated their lives to preserving history.
