The Museum today
In September 2007 the Lošinj Museum detached from the Adult Education Centre of Mali Lošinj and was founded as a local city museum of common type, its founder being the City of Mali Lošinj. The Museum functions in three buildings in Veli Lošinj, Mali Lošinj and Osor and on two islands, Lošinj and Cres. Lošinj Museum has its seat in the Fritzy Palace which houses permanent exhibitions of the Art Collections of Mali Lošinj (Piperata Collection and Mihičić Collection), The Fritzy Gallery and the museum staff.
The Tower Museum-Gallery in Veli Lošinj is a showroom of the Lošinj Museum in which the permanent exhibition on history of Veli Lošinj is set, together with the Tower Gallery. The Archaeological Collection of Osor is a separate and autonomous department of the Lošinj Museum. Permanent exhibition is placed on the first floor where the working space of the museum staff is located as well; inside a spacious loggia you can find the Lapidarium, together with the ancient stone fragments, Medieval wicker ornaments and the Renaissance spolias.
