Game of Thrones Museum

About

The Game of Thrones Museum in Split is a playful, immersive stop for fans of the series, set just steps from the real filming locations inside Diocletian’s Palace. What makes it especially interesting is that many props and set pieces were created by the same craftsmen who worked on the show, giving the museum an unusual level of authenticity. Inside, visitors can explore detailed replicas of iconic weapons, including swords used by major characters, along with armour, shields, and dragon‑themed artefacts. The Iron Throne is the star attraction, crafted in full scale and available for photos. Models of dragons, White Walkers, and direwolves add a dramatic touch, showing the blend of fantasy and craftsmanship behind the series. The museum also features miniature set reconstructions, illustrating how scenes filmed in Split—such as Daenerys’ arrival in Meereen—were created. Behind‑the‑scenes displays explain costume design, special effects, and filming techniques used in the palace’s ancient corridors.

Split Croatia

Location

The Game of Thrones Museum is located in the historic center of Split, Croatia, inside Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You’ll find it tucked into the narrow stone alleys of the old town, just a short walk from the Peristyle and the Cathedral of St. Domnius. Its central setting puts it right where much of the show’s filming took place, with scenes for Meereen and parts of Braavos shot within the palace complex. The museum is dedicated to the hit series and its connection to Split and Croatia. Exhibits include life-size figures, costumes, weapons, and props used in filming, along with detailed dioramas of iconic sets like the Throne Room and Daenerys’ throne. Interactive displays, behind-the-scenes photos, and information panels explain how Split’s Roman architecture was transformed into the fantasy world of Westeros. Fans can sit on a replica Iron Throne and explore themed rooms that recreate the atmosphere of the show. Step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by Split’s main sights. Diocletian’s Palace offers the palace cellars, Temple of Jupiter, Golden Gate, and the bell tower of St. Domnius. The lively Riva promenade runs along the harbor just beyond the palace walls, while the Pazar green market and National Theatre are close by. Marjan Forest Park with its viewpoints and beaches is a short walk away.
