In the centre you can visit the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rijeka City Museum, Rijeka Maritime and Historical Museum of the Croatian Littoral and the Natural History Museum of Rijeka.
There is also the Museum of Informatics and Technology “Peek & Poke”, a unique collection of over 2,000 exhibits of world and Croatian computer history. You should also visit the library and collection Mažuranić-Brlić-Ružić, which is located in a beautiful villa right by the sea at Pećine. The most recent among the museums is the PEEK+POKE Museum of Childhood, the perfect place for letting yourself into the nostalgia for the carefree childhood days.
Theatre lovers can choose between those for adults or children, the “Ivan pl. Zajc” Croatian National Theatre, the City Puppet Theatre or some smaller independent theatres in Rijeka. Most of the galleries that art lovers should visit are located in the centre of the city and its immediate vicinity.
