Rijeka's Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art gives the port city a serious contemporary culture stop. Exhibitions change, but the museum's role is to connect Croatian modern art, new work, and Rijeka's own industrial-urban identity.
It is a good match for travellers who like cities with grit and culture rather than polished old-town prettiness. Pair it with the tunnel, Trsat, and the waterfront to see Rijeka from several angles.
