The exhibition marks the 130th anniversary of the construction of the Palace, one of Rijeka’s most recognisable landmarks. For more than a century, the Governor’s Palace has witnessed the history and transformation of the city. Built in the late 19th century according to the design of Hungarian architect Alajos Hauszmann, the Palace has over the years served as a seat of political power and a setting for turbulent historical events. Today, it is home to the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka. The exhibition presents the known and lesser-known history of the Palace, which has undergone numerous historical changes, as well as photographs documenting its ongoing energy renovation, marking the beginning of a new chapter in its history. 📅 Exhibition duration: 8 October – 11 November 2026
