Sergej Mašera Museum in Piran, Slovenia

The museum offers a collection of the maritime past of the Slovenian coast, Slovenian naval history and related economic activities. It includes an archaeological, a maritime, and an art-history collection. Besides that, the museum informs about salt-making and fishing in the region.

I was especially impressed by a collection of paintings and ship models, from galleys to large sailing ships. During my visit, I focused on Austrian-flagged boats, as the region of Piran was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918.
