The Collection comprises over 35,000 items and includes the archaeological collection from the Epidaurum period, which had been put together by B. Bogišić in 1898, during his stay in Cavtat. The library, the archives, even each of the museum collections taken separately, are well-known in the expert circles thanks to the many rarities and the unique exempla; among them, particularly important are the Croatia-related works.B. Bogišić’s library comprises approximately 15,000 books and brochures, around 200 journals, some newspapers, 66 incunabula, 164 manuscripts and 165 maps. The collected archival material is divided into 39 thematic units (mainly legal history, folk customs and literature, and Bogišić’s personal archives comprising a fairly rich correspondence numbering 10,092 units and 1,481 correspondents). Among the museum collections, particularly important are the following: a highly-valued collection of old prints (8,185 sheets dating from between 16th and 19th century), one of the three largest collections of the kind in Croatia; and a collection of money and medals dating from between the ancient period and the end of 19th century – small in size, but rich in content (numbering 2,674 exempla). There is an exceptionally interesting collection of items bearing legal and symbolic relevance (around 150 items), which is the unique one of the kind in Croatia. The remaining minor museum collections in Bogišić’s legacy include the works of fine arts and crafts; weapons and arms; ethnographic and other items.The Collection of Baldo Bogišić in Cavtat was founded by his sister, Marija Bogišić-Pohl, in the years between 1909 and 1912.
