This museum has so much potential. It has AMAZING Roman artifacts and yet, there’s basically no information at the museum about what exactly you are seeing. There are little plaques that tell you what each item is but there’s no big picture on Roman life in Split. Further, the exhibit on Vis has no English information at all. This could be a five-star museum with just a bit more information for visitors.

We loved the museum. I read the reviews before going saying that it is a small place with few exhibits, and i couldn't disagree more. sadly, because of this, we timed the visit poorly and we had to hurry. It is rather small but PACKED with exhibits and if you use an app to translate texts and photos, it's all very nicely done. I wish to visit the place again soon.
