Dubrovnik's Legacy: Myths, Legends, and Eternal Love

The Love Stories Museum will guide you through its rooms, enchanting you with Dubrovnik through emotions, myths, and legends, and uncovering stories that have shaped this city for centuries. We invite you on a unique journey through the most romantic places within the ancient city walls.

Here at the museum, find out why Dubrovnik's "galebari" (charming lovers) became symbols of strong passion. Learn who was the most beautiful woman from Dubrovnik whose charm impressed many people for ages. We also show you the best viewpoints for couples in love. These spots are perfect for special times — even for that big question: "Will you marry me?"

Inside our museum, learn about the Maskeron legend. It's a strange stone head where, people say, you can test your luck in love. Dive into its story and think about your own love life as you find out its secret.

On the ground floor of the museum, Dubrovnik's old stories, myths, and history are made richer by the art of Petra Farac, an academic painter.

Music — The Sweet Language of Love

Music has always been the purest way to show human feelings, especially love. At the Love Stories Museum, we give a special part to its strong role through history. Here, you will discover a wonderful world of the most beautiful songs that have inspired millions of lovers worldwide. Through melodies and lyrics, the universal message of love touches the hearts of all visitors, no matter the time or culture.

But behind many timeless love songs are amazing stories about the muses that inspired great artists. At the museum, we reveal to you which muses inspired the great works of some big artists like Ludwig van Beethoven, Johnny Cash, John Lennon, Richard Wagner, Peter Gabriel, and Leonard Cohen.

Our carefully chosen music collection takes you on a trip through all parts of love: from the first spark of falling in love to long-lasting devotion. Every note holds a special story or a strong wish.
