It offers a poignant look into the challenging lives of Vrboska's fishing community. Some visitors noted it was smaller than expected, with a desire for more modern displays.
"New modern building and great location. You can learn how hard was life and why so many left. I was expecting more room and more modern things like displays
as only one sport cartoon was playing in the loop. Still, nice place i will recommend while in Vrboska."
