Why it is worth your time
Just off the old town's stone lanes, this museum brings together exhibits on the history and everyday life of the Poreč area. It makes a quieter counterpoint to the basilica crowds outside, a good place to slow down for half an hour. Pair a visit with a wander through the surrounding streets, where much of what the museum describes still stands.
