Probably the most unassuming and secretive of Hvar's museums, the Hvar Heritage Museum (Muzej hvarske baštine) occupies the former summer house of Renaissance poet Hannibal Lucić. It is entered via a small gate leading into Lucić's walled garden, a beautiful green space which, while no longer preserved in its original Renaissance form, still contains an array of well-tended plants, and a stone well-head adorned with a relief of the Melusine, or mermaid with two tails. Steps ascend towards two stone houses harbouring a brace of small memorial rooms, one devoted to Lucić, the other remembering local researcher and tourism-booster Grgur Bučić.
