Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- MyHolidayThoughtsEdinburgh62 contributionsStumbled across this place and was really glad we did. You are taken in a small group to a lovely cool room where the VR experience lasts about 20 minutes. It was really fun and informative and staff were lovely making sure everyone had a seat while we waited.Written 28 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ph Ma48 contributionsI read this Gallery had more than Croatian art, and at the admission of €3 (students & retirees) I saw little to lose. Situated in the old hospital, it is a rather large collection spread out over the labyrinthine upper floor. Quite a collection from pre-Renaissance to post-moderns. The Dürer was out on loan. While lots of Croatian art, there were interesting pieces to see.
The temporary exhibits on the first floor had a few items of interest, including a rather odd video that drew our attention. The Acropolis monuments illuminated behind a naked woman draped with the EU flag, singing Beethoven's Ode to Joy, while a man below her used blue paint to cover over the stars one-by-one. Gildo Bavčević: EU Sleeping, 2015.
The rest of the photos on this level were rather grim.
Recommended for an hour's walk through this sparsely attended museum.Written 1 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is located about a 10 minute walk down the road on the water side. A worthwhile detour before heading back into town. We were the only visitors when we dropped by in late May.
Crikvine-Kaštilac, the former Renaissance summerhouse (early 16th century) of the Capogrosso family, is situated in the vicinity of the Ivan Meštrovic Gallery. Originally built as a holiday home for the aristocratic Capogrosso family and as a possible shelter from Ottoman attacks, the edifice has also served many other purposes in the course of its history (at one point it became a tannery, then a cloth dyers’ workshop, and was even a lazaretto for victims of the plague).
In 1939 Ivan Meštrovic bought and adapted the complex, restoring the small chapel and reconstructing the western part of the courtyard, building in it a peristyle with a variation of Doric columns. Inside the chapel lies what is arguably the artist's most stunning creation, a cycle of 28 wooden reliefs based on the life of Jesus Christ. The result of almost thirty five years’ work (completing the last 12 when he lived in United States) for the cycle to come into being, incorporating motifs from ancient, medieval and modern art, combined to produce an emotionally powerful piece of spiritual sculpture. The cycle remains a masterpiece of the European sacral sculpture.
Viewing the entire series should not be rushed and it's worth visiting in conjunction with his other works in the gallery.Written 30 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
