History Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:50:47

Housed in Cetinje’s most imposing building, the former parliament (1910), this fascinating museum is well laid out, following a timeline from the Stone Age to 1955. There are few English signs but the enthusiastic staff will walk you around and give you an overview before leaving you to your own devices.

Bullet holes are a theme of some of the museum’s most interesting relics: there are three in the back of the tunic that Prince Danilo was wearing when assassinated; Prince Nikola’s standard from the battle of Vučji Do has 396; while, in the communist section, there’s a big gaping one in the skull of a fallen comrade.
