when we visited the gallery it was empty and we felt like owning the place. the sculptures are amazing. after spending the time in gallery we just set on the steps and enjoyed spring sun and the sea view and gardens. Tickets are 30 kunas per person, which is approximately 8 EUR.

Even though I had not heard of this great artist before visiting Croatia, I really enjoyed seeing his works. I am not a trained visual artist myself, nor a religious scholar, but I can feel that he put much humanity into the figures he created, particularly their faces. The building has a great view of the sea and you can... More

Even though we are from Chicago, we did not really know Mestrovic's work, but we will never forget it. Compare his talent to Rodin, as many have. The museum, in Mestrovic's former home, contains his sculptures inside and in the garden. We were mesmerized by his work and his love of Croatia. Not to be missed by anyone who treasures... More

This beautiful historic villa with lovely gardens overlooking the sea has been turned into a museum holding impressive works by Ivan Mestrovic. I wasn't familiar with his work but anyone from Chicago will be familiar with his iconic statues at Grant Park: "The Spearman" and "The Bowman". The nearby Kastelet Chapel is absolutely worth the extra 5 minute walk --... More

Ivan Mestrovic is renowned by Croatians, but I knew nothing about him before heading to Croatia myself. I'm so glad we took the time to visit the gallery, housed in his former villa. The grounds themselves are beautiful, with a sculpture garden outside and breathtaking views of the ocean beyond. On the day we visited, there were only 2 or... More

Set in a wonderful villa , built on Ivan Mestrovics own design , his masterpieces are in a perfect setting. We would not believe that we were the only tourists when we visited in October. The statues in the garden are superb, with a setting that is reminiscent of Rodins gardens in Paris. We couldn,t help but repeating to each... More

We visited the Atelier Mestrovic in Zagreb and loved it. The Mestrovic Gallery in Split is as good. Mestrovic must have been enormously prolific as we see so many examples of his work. We love his style and feel he is in the company of his mentor Rodin. It is a long walk from the old city so check it... More

The Gallery was nice, but smaller than anticipated. We should have done more research. Not knowing much about Ivan Mestrovic, we went off a tourist guide and while enjoyable, simply wasnt what we expected. Nice though.

Do make an effort and visit this spectacular space from the early years of the past century. Also visit Mestrovic Kastelet just few minutes away.
