Ninety seconds on House of the Batana
The rowing evenings are the reason to come: the museum takes visitors out on the water in a batana, Rovinj's wooden fishing boat. Book the rowing, the singing evenings and the open shipyard days in advance.
The museum is small and built around one boat. Three gallery spaces hold the batana itself, the tools and the multimedia, and they show how the boat is built, how the nets and gear were made and what fishing life around it sounded like.
Three quarters of an hour is enough inside. The rest of the museum is outside: the boats it keeps in the water, the shipyard it opens in summer and the evenings it rows visitors out on.
