Reviews from visitors:
There is a modest entrance fee. The main entrance is up a flight of external steps and there are more stairs inside. These are a charming feature and add a certain grandeur to what is essentially a stately house. I could not see what provision had been made for disabled access.
I found the paintings interesting for the traditional costume content. There were many artefacts on display, especially related to the family's historic military role plus, of course some notable chairs and other furnishings.
There were books and memorabilia on available to purchase in the final area. The way takes you down wide flight of steps into a wooded avenue and the surrounding wooded park. I get the feeling this was originally the way in as architecturally it feels the more impressive entrance especially for an age of guests arriving in horse drawn carriages.
The former palace of King Nikola is charming because of the poverty of Montenegro at that time and the tiny scale of the royal palace, reflecting the nature of the country during its brief period of monarchy. It is on the scale of an elegant but cash-strapped English Victorian country house. There are family heirlooms, including paintings, weapons, clothes and photographs of Nikola, his family and relatives. The place is a curiosity and if you are in the former capital, worth paying the entrance price. There is no hard sell in the tiny souvenir area.
Very rich, beautiful museum. Representing one small country trought history, how people are living, the way how they lived and one person king Nikola what did for his country
Just another old house decorated with bought in artefacts.
