Natural History Department of the National Museum Zadar

The Natural History Department of the National Museum Zadar has its roots in the Napoleonic rule of Zadar in the 19th century, when the governor of the Zadar Lyceum, Vicenzo Dandolo, insisted on establishing the Natural History Cabinet.

The Natural History Department preserves the historical remains of natural history collections gathered over the past centuries, but also collects new natural resources distributed in about thirty collections (vertebrate collections, insect collections, mollusc collections, herbarium, and other natural history collections).




Due to the renovation of the Proveditor’s Palace, the exhibition space of the Natural History Department is closed for visitors. Occasional exhibitions of the Department are held at the Rector's Palace and the City Lodge.
