Programme
The first route of the museum ship will be the Mediterranean, an area of millennia of history and exchange, which has always mobilized and nourished the inspiration of artists, and naturally invites intercultural dialogue.
Discover the programme of activities on the quayside and in the towns: performances, concerts, conferences, screenings, workshops, meetings and other events.

Little drummers - Ri Rock Academy
Ri Rock Academy was created with the idea of developing and improving the Rijeka alternative scene. Above all, it is a unique place for learning and fostering innovation, rather than a form of institutionalized professional education. The program takes a different, “alternative”, approach, moving away from classical teaching methods and music theory, and is focused on individual or group musical practice.
