Muzej Grada Split, or the City Museum of Split is located in a two-story, post-Gothic residence of the Papaliciów family - local patricians. The museum's collection documents the city's history from ancient times to the 20th century. Numismatic collections and Renaissance paintings, as well as collections of noble coats of arms and melee weapons are particularly valuable. The oldest artifact is the stone sphinx from the 4th century BC, which was originally the ornament of Diocletian's Palace.
The most valuable items in the church's churches include Romanesque stone sculptures, which in the past adorned the bell towers of the cathedral of St. Dujam. The museum has a stone tablet from 1373, which has the oldest known record of the name of the city of Split. A fragment of the municipal statute from 1395 has also been preserved.
The museum also has a gallery of Emanuel Božidar Vidović (1870-1953), a Croatian painter and drawer. It presents a retrospective of works from the entire period of creativity, including a separate section devoted to drawings and paintings depicting the picturesque corners of Split.
