The Montenegro Maritime Museum (Museum Maritimum) in Kotor was created with gradual development of the original collection of the Fraternity of “Boka Navy”, established around 1880 and opened to public in 1900. In the year 1938 it was rearranged and opened on the first floor of the present-day Museum building. After the end of the World War II, from 1949 to 1952 the entire building, 18th century Baroque palace that once belonged to the noble family of Grgurina, underwent complete restoration and adaptation for the needs of the Museum.
