The ambiance itself leaves an indelible mark in all senses and mystifying beauty of the Dalmatian island of Brac. The museum was founded in 1979 but includes a Roman mausoleum built in the late 3rd century in the time of Emperor Diocletian.
The museum contains three collections: archaeological, culture-historical and ethnographic collection. The archaeological collection is artifacts from the Stone Age through to the first written monument of the Croatian language, which is all found on the island. Here you can introduce useful items found in a cave Kopacina which is located 500 meters from the quarry near the village Donji Humac. There is also a drain of Povaljane threshold which is the oldest monument in the Croatian language on the island. A herculean figure is early Christian finding from the 6th century, and perhaps one of the most popular exhibits in the wide and interesting collection.
