About Perast Museum
Perast Museum, founded in 1937, fills the 17th-century Bujović Palace on the waterfront, reopened in 1998 after long restoration. Some 2,000 objects tell the story of a town that flourished under Venice and in 1698 hosted the first maritime school in the Balkans. On the ground floor, ship models, navigational instruments and charts recall its seafarers; the first-floor salon shows portraits of famous captains, coats of arms and naval scenes, alongside Baroque painting by Tripo Kokolja. Upstairs, jewellery, porcelain and furniture of the Visković family evoke life in the palaces.
