The Museum of Croatian Archaeological Sites is the oldest museum in the Croatian Bo, founded on the criteria of studying the tangible and intangible cultural relics of the Croats in the Middle East. The museums entered their heyday from the 7th to 15th centuries, especially from the time of the early medieval Croatian state (from the 9th to the 12th centuries). The museum was named in 1893, and during World War II, fearing the threat of war, it initially moved to Sinj, and later eventually arrived in Split via Christ, where from 1976 its archaeological treasures were maintained and exhibited in both monumental and representative buildings.
