Sacral museum collection in Dobrinj
As a part of the Dobrinj vicarage there is a museum collection,
which for the most part contains exhibits from Dobrinj cultural
and religious heritage. However, the value of particular exhibits
surpasses local values. One of those is the outstanding transcript
of the Listina Charter of Dragoslav the Great dating from 1100;
although the original unfortunately disappeared, the transcript
of this relevant Croatian Glagolitic document from our history
has been preserved in the so called Perva kniga klera dobrinskoga
(eng. The First Book of Dobrinj Clergy). A part of the sacral museum collection is also a Venetian's
antependium from 15th century, embroidered in gold by Katarina
Frankopan. In addition to the reliquary of St. Ursula, numerous
canonic Glagolitic books and sculptures of naive artists,
this museum collection also contains one rarity - processional
crosses from 17th century which, beside Jesus', also bear
the picture of the Virgin Mary.

Ethnographic collection
Opposite the building of Municipal Authority there is the
ethnographic collection, in the native house of a journalist
and a publicist Ivo Sučić (1901-1980). Consistent with his
testamentary wish, the ethnographic collection was formed
with numerous original exhibits and photos which evoke the
life of islanders from almost 200 years ago.
The ground floor is arranged as an antique kitchen with the
komin (eng. fireplace), antique chairs, dishes and inevitable
cradles by the komin. The first floor exhibits farming tools,
while the second and the third floor display antique spindles,
folk instruments, various decorations and national costumes
of contemporary girls and women.
The collection can be viewed at any time during summer months,
or during the rest of the year with the previous phone notice
to the Dobrinj Municipality.
