MUSEUM OF APOXYOMENE

This museum is dedicated exclusively to the Apoxyomene, a bronze sculpture of a standing man, naked in his toilet, scraping his skin with a strigile. The ancient Greek colossus was discovered off the coast of Veli Losinj by divers in 1996. It was brought to the surface in 1999. After a long time of restoration, it is finally on public display in 2016 in this museum in Mali Losinj. In addition, multimedia installations present its original era. Through taste, smell, hearing and sight, one gets closer to the Hellenistic civilization.
