The Istrian resort of Rovinj is laying on a number of special events for Night of the Museums this Friday, January 31, when attractions across Croatia will be open to the public for free.
This will be 20th time that Rovinj has staged this cross-city, family-friendly celebration. Things start up at 6pm when the Rovinj City Museum (Trg maršala Tita 11) throws open its doors to offer a number of activities, allowing visitors to play the Roman game of tabula, along with lectures and exhibitions.
You can find seafood specialities and local live music being laid on at the Spàcio Matika (Vladimira Švalba 35), integral to the Batana Museum (obala P Budicina 2) where the namesake traditional boat is in focus. Further round the seafront at Trg brodogradilišta 2, photos by Aldo Pokrajc showcase life in Rovinj feature in an open-air exhibition.
Events wind down at 10pm.
