Kuća Bukovac

The former home of local son Vlaho Bukovac (1855–1922), one of Croatia's greatest artists, has been beautifully converted into a gallery of his life and work. The two floors feature more than 200 works of art, including self-portraits and oil paintings from the periods he spent in Paris, Zagreb, Prague, and Cavtat. There's also period furniture and personal items. The stone house itself is a lovely example of typical 18th-century architecture; the east wing is covered in murals that Bukovac painted as a gift to his father when he was 16 years old.

War Photo Limited

Stari Grad

Shocking and impressive, this modern gallery run by New Zealand photojournalist Wade Goddard, who drove from London to Croatia in 1992 to document the war and never left, devotes two floors to war photojournalism. The permanent exhibition showcases photos and video from former Yugoslavia, while recent exhibitions have been dedicated to conflicts in Ukraine, Myanmar, and Vietnam. It's a sobering, illuminating, and extremely worthwhile gallery.
