Museum of Donau
About This Museum
Tucked away on Zmaj Jovina street in the heart of Sombor, this museum holds the stories of a community that once shaped the very land around us. It’s a quiet, thoughtful place dedicated to the Danube Swabians, their vibrant culture, and the complex history they lived through. You'll find everything from traditional folk costumes, embroidered by hand generations ago, to humble farming tools and sepia-toned family portraits that seem to speak. It feels less like a formal institution and more like walking through someone's carefully preserved family archive.
Collection Highlights
Look for the beautifully detailed traditional clothing and the re-creation of a typical household interior, complete with furniture and everyday objects. The photographs and personal documents really bring the individual stories to life.
Visitor Information
It's right in the city center, so it's an easy stop while you're exploring Sombor. Since it's a smaller museum, it's best to check locally for their current opening hours before you pop in.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming, understated townhouse that blends in with the other historic buildings on the street, its simple facade doesn't give away the treasures inside.
