Archaeological Museum
On the glass windows of the Archaeological Museum in Zadar, one can see the reflection of the remains of the Roman Forum and the early Medieval church of St Donat, with which the Museum is unbreakably connected. Since 1880 the works of preservation and restauration had been done in St Donat’s with the intention to place the Archaeological Museum in it.
The Museum was founded in 1832 making it the second oldest museum in Croatia, and one of the oldest in this part of Europe. Today it keeps more than 100,000 archaeological artefacts from all the cultural and historical periods from the Palaeolithic to the end of 11th century.

For almost 60 years the museum has been producing hand-made souvenirs in a preparatory workshop, such as amphoras, bowls, fibulas (broches), jewellery and other valuable museum material.
