The Kastav Museum Collection was opened on 6 June \u2013 Kastav Town Day \u2013 1981 and is located above the Volta town gate. The original idea of opening a memorial collection in Kastav dedicated to the writer Vladimir Nazor, whose work over ten years at the Teacher\u2019s School (1908-1918) contributed to the area\u2019s rich cultural and historical heritage, has over time turned into the establishment of a complex regional museum collection.<\/p>\n\n

Thanks to the commitment and dedication of the inhabitants of the Kastav area and the work of former employees of the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral, about six thousand items have been collected: archaeological, ethnographical, cultural and historical materials as well as items related to the National Liberation Movement during World War Two.<\/p>\n\n

The new exhibition display created in 2023 presents a selection of the exhibits, revealing the history of Kastav and its surroundings from the late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic to the mid-20th century, with an emphasis on the importance of preserving local traditions, customs and crafts, as well as the libertarian spirit of the town and its people, who have always fought for justice.<\/p>\n\n
