Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum, Piran

Learn all there is to know about Slovene maritime history at Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum. Sitting by the water in the elegant 19th-century Gabrielli Palace, the museum features artifacts from the ancient to the Yugoslav. The highlight is the Roman amphorae in the archaeological exhibit--viewed through a glass floor, these lie right on the seabed. A room upstairs holds intricate model ships from the 18th century. The museum's first renovated ship--the yacht 'Seagull'--sits outside in the harbor. Put Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum at the forefront of your travel plans using our Piran online sightseeing planner.
