Museum of Fine Arts, Split, Art museum in Split, Croatia.
The Museum of Fine Arts spans two floors within a renovated Baroque bastion building, displaying Croatian and European artworks from the 14th century to contemporary times.
Established in 1931, the museum transformed a former military hospital built in 1792 into a cultural institution, relocating to its current renovated historical building in 2009.
The collection emphasizes Croatian masters like Vlaho Bukovac and Emanuel Vidović alongside European works, fostering national artistic identity while showcasing regional cultural exchanges throughout centuries.
Open Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 to 19:00, Saturday from 11:00 to 15:00, and Monday from 11:00 to 16:00, with adult admission priced at €5 for both permanent and temporary exhibitions.
The museum occupies one of five Baroque defensive bastions originally constructed to protect Split, symbolically transforming a military fortification into a sanctuary for artistic expression and cultural preservation.
