Museum of Fine Arts Split
Located in the site of a former military hospital, nestled in one of the five Baroque bastions that had defended the city of Split, Museum of Fine Arts is Split’s leading art gallery. Its exhibition area is spread over two floors, with the ground floor housing the permanent and temporary exhibitions of contemporary art, including painting, sculpture, video, multimedia and installations, while its upper floor houses the exhibition of paintings from the fourteenth century up to the 1960s. The gallery’s most valuable and earliest works are the polyptich of Paolo Veneziano (c. 1345), the image of Maddona with the Child by the circle of Blaž Jurjev Trogiranin (c. 1425), the image of Maddona with the Child by Giorgio Sciavone (c. 1480), the stone sculpture of St Jerome by Andrea Alessi (c. 1480) and an engraving attributed to Albrecht Dürer (1514). The gallery also features works of prominent Croatian masters like Vlaho Bukovac, Mato Celestin Medović and Emanuel Vidović.
