    Take your time and visit this little island named Krapanj. Take a walk around the island and also rest at the beach for a swim. BUT most importantly visit this little museum here. At first we were gonna miss it since we wanted to explore the island but when we returned from our tour around the island right in front of our water Taxi stop there was this little precious museum. You walk in and first think: OK I can buy sponges here.....but then you see a little part of the history of Krapanji. The family who owns this Museum has poured their heart in it. You can see over 100 years of a divers family history who collects sponges. They take their time to explain everything to you and let you into their world, which is quiet interesting. At the end you come out a lot smarter out if this place and have learned new things you would have never knew if you didn't step in here ;)

    If you happen to ever be traveling by Sibenik, and want to take the awesome 5 minute ferry ride out to the island of Krapanj, there is a wonderful natural sponge muzeum and shop. Their family has been sponge diving for more than a century, and they were kind, and VERY PATIENT as my kids asked a million questions, wanted to touch and try EVERYTHING and she even showered them with some beautiful small gifts. Totally worth the side trip if your kids like things like this. If you are into natural sponges or want some wonderful Adriatic sea salts, this is the place to buy it. ♥️🇭🇷🇪🇺

    Very lovely place. Small, but every detail is well thought out. You can see interesting artifacts and buy a sponge for a good price. If you visit Krapanj, visit this place too.

    (Translated by Google) Well decorated. In addition to all sizes and shapes of domestic sponges, some exhibited items such as amphorae, Roman artifacts and diving equipment are on display. At the entrance, a documentary on sponge-making is also played on the television. Sponge prices are affordable. (Original) Odlično uređeno. Osim svih veličina i oblika domaćih spužvi za kupovinu, u lokalu su izloženi i poneki izronjeni eksponati kao što su amfore, rimski artefakti i ronilačka oprema. Kod ulaza se na televizoru vrti i dokumentarac o spužvarstvu. Cijene spužva su pristupačne.

    Jučer smo iskoristili praznik i posjetili otok Krapanj što nikad nismo, a ponovit ćemo prvom prilikom!! Doživljaj je dolazak na mali otočić kojem je prirodna visina samo nešto viša od 1 metra. Stare kuće, crkva, okoliš je muzej sam za sebe, no ulaskom i obilaskom Spuga 2 muzeja ronilaca na spužve i koralje, doživite povijest staru nekoliko stoljeća! Ljubazne domaćice vas po vašoj želji uvedu u tajne ronjenja i vađenja spužvi iz morskih dubina okolnog akvatorija. To je cijela priča, od početaka do danas, kada se još uvijek roni i vade spužve i koralji. U muzeju je izloženo stotine spužvi različitih veličina i oblika, koralja i svakakvih predmeta, oružja, oruđa, nakita, kovanog novca...koji su stariji od 2 tisuće godina! Vrijedno je što možete kupiti spužve, koralje, izrađeni nakit i ukrase te imati kod sebe dio povijesti!! Dođite na ovaj otok i obavezno posjetite ovaj poseban muzej na ovom dijelu Europe!!

    Malé, ale velmi pěkné muzeum o historii potápění. Jsou zde vystaveny předměty, které se vylovili z moře několik let staré. Dále tu jsou vystaveny i ruzné staré historické potápěčské obleky. Muzeum je spojené s obchůdkem se suvenýry jako jsou především mořské houby,korály, různé šperky, magnetky a i alkohol. Vstup zdarma a moc příjemný majitelé. Pokud navštívíte ostrov Krapanj, nenechte si toto ujít. Ty houby jsou perfektní 👍

    Wejscie do muzeum jest bezpłatne. To niewielka galeria rzeczy znalezionych pod wodą, narzedzi do nurkowania, gąbek i korali. Właściciel na miejscu dzieli się historią miejsca i swojej pracy, nie jest nachalny, sprzęt można dotknąć oczywiście zachowując jego bezpieczeństwo. Na miejscu można kupić gąbki i biżuterię z korali. Warto odwiedzić będąc na Krapanji

    (Translated by Google) The great history of the island, the huge atmosphere of the museum. The owner is happy to talk about the family profession, not to persuade to buy. You feel very comfortable here. The whole island is magical, the only place in Croatia that I could visit again. <3 (Original) Wielka historia wyspy, ogromny klimat muzeum. Właściciel chętnie opowiada o rodzinnej profesji, nie namawia do zakupów. Czujesz się tutaj bardzo komfortowo. Cała wyspa jest magiczna, to jedyne miejsce w Chorwacji, które mogłabym odwiedzić ponownie. <3

    Malé, ale o to hezčí. Krásné muzeum potápění, které rozhodně stojí za návštěvu, když už jste na ostrově. Vstup je zdarma.

  • 5/5 LUCKY L. 7 months ago on Google
    Obowiązkowe miejsce do zwiedzenia gdy jest się na wyspie. Wspaniała wystawa rzeczy znalezionych pod wodą oraz sprzętu który służył do nurkowania i połowu gąbki morskiej dawniej oraz dziś. Można tam kupić gąbki morskie oraz wyroby z rafy koralowej. Właścicielka sklepu bardzo miła. Opowiedziała nam o swoich tradycjach rodzinnych jaką między innymi jest połów gąbek morskich. Ocena ogólna 5*

    Pokud budete poblíž, určitě se stavte. Majitelé jsou milí a ochotní, suvenýry nejsou drahé a potěší.

  • 5/5 Nick S. 1 year ago on Google
    Eine traumhaft schöne Insel und das Taucher und Schwamm Museum muss man besucht haben. Die Insel und die Familie die das Museum betreibt hat eine lange Schwammtaucher Geschichte die dort erzählt wird. Nebenbei kann man tollen selbst hergestellten Schmuck, Seifen, Schwämme kaufen. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert
