Ninety seconds on Historical Museum of Montenegro
The history collection is closed for visiting and the National Museum says so on its own hours page. What stands at this address is Government House, which it shares with the art museum, and that half is open.
Founded in 1896 and now split across five buildings in the old capital, the National Museum of Montenegro keeps its history collection here.
There is nothing to walk into here at present. Government House went up in 1910, neo-Renaissance, as the seat of the administration, and it holds the permanent exhibitions of both the history collection and the art museum; only the art side is admitting visitors. A reader planning Cetinje should treat this address as the art museum's, with the icon of Philermos in it, and take the history of the place from King Nikola's palace and the Njegos museum, both minutes away on foot and both open.
