EDIT: I got a refund, a week after complaining, so I am giving 5 stars for the customer service.
This art gallery boasts an exceptional location with stunning views, making it a wonderful destination. However, my experience was somewhat marred by the fact that a significant portion of the exhibits has been on loan to a museum in Zagreb for the past four months. As a result, visitors are only able to view half of the collection, yet the admission fee remains at 12 Euros. This was particularly disappointing as many of the key marble statues, which are central to the gallery’s allure, were among the missing pieces. While I would normally rate this gallery with five stars for its full collection, the current offering doesn’t justify the full price. The views alone are worth a visit, but I believe that if the gallery continues to loan out a large portion of its collection, a reduced admission fee would be more appropriate.

This magnificent world class artist had a rich life full of ups and downs and told the world a story about it through his artwork (mostly sculptures, but also paintings, sketches). The gallery was made by him as his studio.

Really fantastic art in an inspiring location. Well worth every cent!

Very beautiful gallery with works from one of the most famous Eastern European sculptors of the 20th century.
Be aware that most of his famous works are currently on loan to a gallery in Zagreb - for an anniversary exhibition - until March 2024.
Even so, the museum is beautiful and the few sculptures that do remain on display are really impressive.

Stunning place. Examples of Meštrović's work and beautiful house, gardens and pergola. We went in the late afternoon and views and light were impressive. It was quiet and we had a place to ourselves, wondering around and taking photos.

What a great experience, even during a storm.
We walked up the hill, via Riva and the sea front, which on a a sunny day may be too taxing for some (take water or a taxi maybe).
The grounds had some lovely pieces, and a real tortoise!
We climbed the steps and enjoyed seeing more sculptures inside, as well as the rooms and a video about Mestrovic (one clip included him at work).
The building itself is worth viewing from outside for the entrance alone.
At the admission desk we were also told about the church over the road (about 10 more minutes walk). This was very tranquil. The wood panelling as well as views to the sea from the church made it worth the extra walk.
If you have a Split card admission is half price. I do not believe there were toilets or a cafe on site.

Absolutely beautiful gallery which such amazing and friendly staff! It's worth taking the trip to explore around and visit the Chapel. The views from second floor are stunning if you've got the perfect weather.

Wonderful sculpture gallery/museum dedicated to Croatia’s most prominent sculptor of the 20th Century, Ivan Meštrović, whose works are also prominently displayed around Split’s old town.
The museum included full size bronzes, as well as studies, plaster models, sketches and his paintings. Worth a visit if you’re into sculpture and are visiting Split.

Incredible collection in the former home of one of the world’s most talented artists. Takes 30-45 mins to see it all.

I love that gallery with a beautiful garden with many sculptures and an amazing view at the sea below. The gallery is neat and clearly marked. The sculptures are absolutely breathtaking. Entrance is 50 kunas per person with a possibility to visit a nearby chapel. Highly recommended.

We didn’t go inside, but Cedrian gave us a quick overview of the life of Ivan and Rocin’s pieces of art. Worth it to go in 👍🏻

Amazing! Definitely worth a visit. The current exhibit there this summer also includes his drawings.

Astonishing! Definitely a place you should visit!
One of the most talented and prolific Croatian artist's home turned into this huge, very well organized museum near the seashore. It was wonderful (re)living Mestrovic's most crucial moments and emotions through his beautiful sculptures guided by the well written museum broucher. Not much of a fan of sculptures in general due to being hard to make them expressive, this guy's work made me fall in love with it.

Fantastic gallery. Full of the works of acclaimed sculpter Ivan Mestrovic, all in what was once his residence.
Amazing front gardens sweep up from the sea to an imposing set of stairs and column lined patio.
Various sculptures of his sit in the garden and throughout the 2 storey house.
There are also a few paintings and sketches.
It is a commanding view from the patio entrance and also from the terrace up on the 1st floor.
About 1.5kms from the old town, a nice stroll along the foreshore. Best gallery in Split!

I love this kind of art museum. Not too much, take not so much time. I enjoyed.

Although a distance from the tourist area (at least a 30 minute walk) the museum was well worth the effort. Beautiful inside and out! The curation is compelling and shows the various periods of the artist. Don't miss walking up to the chapel!
