A museum located near the park that displays the history of Plitvice Lakes, the geology behind the formation of travertine barriers, and the biodiversity of this UNESCO-protected area. The exhibition also includes documentation on the park's designation as a national park in 1949. Ideal for a visit during rainy weather or before entering the park.
The museum ticket is separate from the park ticket and considerably cheaper. Opening hours vary by season; it is recommended to check on the official Plitvice Lakes NP website. The museum is particularly useful for learning about the ecosystem before visiting the park.
