Founded in 2016, the Museum of the Croatian War of Independence features original documents, art and documentary photographs, weapons, explosives, war equipment parts, troops' flags, authentic recordings and video material to offer an account of the Homeland War in the Dubrovnik area. A permanent exhibit called "Dubrovnik In The 1991-1995 Homeland War" depicts the city's response to Serbian and Montenegrin forces in the early 1990s and the return of displaced refugees. Recent visitors said this is a must-see museum, with powerful and moving exhibits. Several reviewers were particularly interested in the archival news videos that depicted how media outlets around the world covered the conflict, as well as interviews with eyewitnesses. A few travelers noted that the museum is quite small. The museum, which is located in Fort Imperial at the top of Mount Srd, can be reached via cable car. The museum is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 or 6 p.m., depending on the season. Admission costs 30 kuna (around $4.50) for adults and 15 kuna (about $2.50) for kids.
