On this occasion, the Museum gets its own special gallery, located near the traditional Kotor fountain "Karampana" and will be the right place for exhibitions, promotions and cultural programs. This space is an integral part of the Museum and until now it has been rented out. Now, Museum's management has decided that this space should become a museum gallery, in which the exhibition of the Maritime Museum, as well as guest exhibitions, will be organized in one place. It will be a modern multifunctional gallery with modern LED lighting, sound system, projector, our interlocutor said. The space is decorative with characteristic concrete and stone which gives the gallery a special atmosphere.
