Data Points

The Museum of Hum Aura is situated in a medieval building in the world's smallest town, Hum, located in Istria. This historic structure served various purposes over the years, including functioning as a granary known as Fontik and as the City Lodge where significant decisions were made for the community of Grašćaks and Homjans. In line with ancient Croatian customs dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, the county prefect is still elected in the City Lodge on St. George's Day. The museum, opened in 2022, showcases almost 1500 exhibits arranged across 11 thematic units, representing different aspects of ancestral life and dominant crafts over the past 150 years. Interactive rooms allow visitors to engage in activities such as writing postcards using Glagolitic letters, making cream in the pharmacy, grinding coffee beans in an old mill, and filling bottles of brandy in an old distillery. Hum, known as the cradle of creation and the center of Glagolitic culture, offers visitors a unique experience where they can enjoy the smallest coffee in the world while exploring stories of Istria's past, local traditions, customs, and crafts.
