Museo Archeologico


Pula's small archaeology museum provides a useful introduction to what lies down the road at Nora. Alongside ceramics found in Punic and Roman tombs, some gold and bone jewellery, and Roman glassware, there's a model of the Nora site and helpful explanations in both English and Italian. The museum was closed for renovation at the time of research and it's unknown when it will re-open.
