The gardens outside are lush green. Some of the sculptures are really impressive. I suggest getting transport to it from split since it is a good 30 min walk. The ticket price is 40 hrk per adult. Washrooms are available. 4 stars because I'm not a fan of either sculptures or the artist but for a fan of his work this gallery would be astounding.
Interesting gallery. Meštrović is on of the greatest Croatian sculptors. Worth visiting! Surroundings are lovely as well, nice part of city for a calm walk. When you buy the entry ticket for the gallery, entry to crkvine Kaštilac is also included (small church across the road approximately 200 m away)
Really nice museum, Mestrovic was an impressive sculptor and his work is perfectly exhibited in this gallery. Don't miss the outside statues and follow the guide!
Ivan Meštrović Gallery (Croatian: Galerija Meštrović), is an art museum in Split, Croatia dedicated to the work of the 20th-century sculptor, Ivan Meštrović. The gallery preserves and presents to the public the most significant works of Meštrović, and is in itself an art monument.
The permanent collection includes works of sculpture, drawings, design, furnitureand architecture. Holdings include original plaster models by the artist, as well as finished works in bronze, marble and wood.
The gallery building and grounds were based on original plans by Meštrović himself, and included living and working areas, as well as exhibition spaces.
Gorgeous setting, and some very expressive pieces. No parking to speak of, though. Also, Mestrovic was apparently a real jerk in life, which taints the visit somewhat.
Nice setting. Grounds could do with a tidy up, but its on e hell of a house! Particularly liked the sculptures of Job.
Mestrovic granted this gallery to the city. Definitely worth the visit. Also go to the chapel that is included, you wouldn't be disappointed.
Totally underrated place. Now has a great audio guide that you use your phone to access.
Nice quiet place. Beautiful architechture and sculptures. Nice view of the sea. Not expensive. You can walk there in 40 min from center Split.
Great museum. Helpful staff, shady gardens, good café. Worth a visit.
Lovely house and view. Interesting sculptures but lacking explanatory detail. We found more about the artist's life from Wiki than the museum. Not alot for your money.
An excellent, not-overwhelming collection and exhibit, with a genuinely enthusiastic staff and a digital museum guide that gives a good introduction to the techniques the sculptor uses.
Great gallery of an impressive sculptor. Even for those who don't like art it's a fun and easy gallery to walk through on a beautiful estate. In a quiet and gorgeous location on the waterfront below the Marajan.

Great exhibition of a great artist! Very good price for students. Plus, it includes the visit of another place nearby.
Unlike what is written, it was opened until 6 p.m.
I would definitely recommend this gallery for visiting - it has a gorgeous garden and a view on the sea. The gallery itself is very nice - it was artist's home and workshop before he moved to the US. I especially liked this place because of a lady, who works there, she was very happy to talk about Ivan Meshtrovic, his life and his art. Croatian people are very proud of him and call him their Michelangelo. The place is not a top tourist destination, so you would have a very private experience. The entrance ticket to the gallery also includes a visit to a beautiful church with wooden icons made by the artist, plus some more places.
Nice pavillion. Very good show for Night of museums. Nice pieces of art inside, by Ivan M.
Nice location. Spacious gallery. Beautifully located. Cosy little coffee bar.
