Excellent museum, with well curated exhibits. Interesting overall explanations but only minimal info about individual items. All info in Croatian and English languages. The history of the actual building is also interesting, with a good video to watch. Would recommend.

This is a 3.5 star attraction, mainly because of the building and its history. Originally a grain store, the “silos” are still in evidence below grids in the floor. A video on a small TV just inside the entrance shows how the building was constructed. It would be better IMO to have this on a bigger screen in a separate dedicated area and also bring the grain stores to life. There are also lots of colourful clothes and some examples of how people arranged their homes in past times which are quite interesting and well displayed. A bit more context would do wonders for the displays. This museum is free with the city pass, but takes a bit of finding, being near the walls rather than being dead central.

Best museum in Dubrovnik in amazing old historical building. Not easy to find, well worth it! (On other sites it's referred to as the Ethnographic Musem, not The Rupe.) Incredible textile exhibit, maybe the best we've ever seen, upper two floors show various objects from everyday life back in the day. Incredible glimpse into the world of Croatians through the years. Part of the combo pass, but was empty when we were there. Stays open late too. (Bathrooms are oddly on top level, up about 50 steps)
