In many ways, the development of Croatia has always been defined by its relationship to the sea. This is true from top to bottom, but Rijeka’s relationship with the waters goes a little deeper. The city developed around the port, and the vast blue has done more than most to make Rijeka the city it is today. The famous old Jugolinija shipping company (renamed Croatia Line in 1992) is very much a part of that story, and this fascinating exhibition looks back at 75 years of fun, trade, travel and discovery. From humble beginnings to the massive vessels of today, 75 Years of Jugolinija is a love letter from the seas to Rijeka, highlighting the highs and lows of a cornerstone of modern Rijeka. Jugolinija was more than a shipping company; it was the heart and soul of Rijeka. If you want to understand Rijeka as it is today, this exhibition is an absolute must.
