The Rab Virtual Museum of Fishing, Seafaring and Boatbuilding comprises 13 locations along the Barbat and Banjol coast of the Croatian island of Rab. It provides an innovative, dynamic and fun way for visitors to learn about the island’s history and culture of shipbuilding, seafaring, fishing and architecture. Each location features a metal structure with double-sided information boards in Croatian and English, illuminated by solar-powered lamps at night. Each board has a QR code that acts as a key to the virtual museum. 

Results

  • Increased awareness of the value of fishing and maritime culture.
  • Collection and documentation of the history of fishing, seafaring and shipbuilding on Rab Island.
  • Use of new technologies to promote local fishing and maritime heritage.
