With over 150,000 items including Roman sarcophagi, mosaics, pottery, glasswork, and early Christian artifacts, plus an outdoor garden displaying Roman stone monuments and sculptures, it's a great follow-up for travelers wanting to dig deeper into Roman history after visiting Diocletian's Palace. Admission about EUR 5. 10-minute walk from the Old Town.
