Knowing is the key to caring, and with caring there is hope that people will be motivated to take positive actions. They might not care even if they know, but they can’t care if they are unaware.” #SylviaEarle

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
We are honoured to present you our private collection of sea shells Glossus Humanus. As our collection increased over years and as the biodiversity decreases daily we felt obliged to offer our treasure to public and spread admiration we have for marine life and its preservation.
We've thoroughly selected each masterpiece of the nature and prepared great selfguided tours for our visitors. Let this website give you an impression of what awaits you at the temporary exhibition. Pinacoteca itself is framed by valuable collection of paintings, sculptures and church liturgical dishes. Among the many valuable works of art stand out icons of St. Nicholas from the 15th century and the works of the great Croatian painter Vlaho Bukovac.
