Entra en el hogar de un capitán que domó tormentas del Adriático y dejó su legado en estas piedras con vistas eternas al mar.
The museum (Miroslav Štumberger House) usually opens in the high season (summer) from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, although hours may vary outside the season. It is located in the heart of Baošići, and you can easily find it using Google Maps or by taking a local bus from Herceg Novi.
Yes, there is a small admission fee to help maintain the heritage site, usually around €2 to €3 per person. It is advisable to bring cash in euros, as cards are rarely accepted at the entrance.
The visit is short but rich; about 45 minutes is enough time to admire the collection of model ships, icons, and the library. If you use an audio guide to explore the history in more depth, allow a full hour.
It is the legacy of Commodore Miroslav Štumberger, a submarine engineer and passionate artist. The house preserves the original atmosphere of the 1930s and works as a 'museum of the soul' of the naval history of the Bay of Kotor.
The ideal time is at sunset in summer, so you can enjoy the bay views from the garden after your visit. It is also very popular in February during the Mimosa Festival, when the area comes alive.
Unfortunately, as it is an old historic house located on elevated ground with stone steps and narrow hallways, access for people with reduced mobility is very difficult and not adapted.
You are very close to the local beaches and the seaside promenade that connects with neighboring villages. Just a few minutes away by car, do not miss the old town of Herceg Novi and its fortresses.
Wear comfortable shoes because the path can be steep, and make sure you have enough space on your camera for the panoramic views. Check updated additional information on the local tourism website before you go: Herceg Novi Tourism.
