Archaeological Museum of Istria

The Archaeological Museum of Istria traces its origins back to the early 19th century when stone monuments were collected at the Temple of Augustus in Pula. This initial collection laid the foundation for the establishment of the Museo d'antichità and the Municipal Museum of Pula in 1902. Over time, the museum evolved, merging with other collections and organizations to become the Royal Museum of Istria in 1925. Situated in a former Austrian secondary school, the museum opened its doors to the public in 1930, showcasing a diverse array of archaeological artifacts.
Following World War II, the institution underwent changes, including its renaming as the Archaeological Museum of Istria in 1947. In 1961, part of its collection was restituted from Italy, leading to systematic efforts to renovate the museum building and enhance its exhibits. The museum's displays were reorganized, with the lapidarium opening on the ground floor in 1968 and prehistoric and classical exhibits unveiled on the upper floors in 1973. Today, the Archaeological Museum of Istria continues to expand its collections, incorporating new archaeological discoveries from across Istria, ranging from prehistoric caves to Roman sites and early Christian structures. Through its various departments and dislocated collections, the museum remains a vital hub for archaeological research and education in the region.
