The museum exhibition takes place on two floors. The first floor features Bukovac's drawings, while the second floor features his pictures - as you will see, those are true masterpieces. Even if you are not expert in art, you will enjoy the exhibition.
You can also expect a polite museum manager, who will tell you more about Vlaho's life, which was not easy. Since he was born in a poor family, Vlaho was working as a waiter in the restaurant at an early age, until his art got recognised in Croatia, and later in the whole world.
