As early as the next season, Dubrovnik could have a virtual museum situated in the historical quarantine of Lazareti. A building permit for renovation of the premises has already been obtained, and the project implementation begins this autumn. The first among the ten boat-halls within Lazareti was designated to be home to the museum at this historical City entrance spot. The impressive complex of Lazareti is located at the east entrance to the city, an ideal place for a new-type City reception. The new virtual museum would make Lazareti an entrance station for most visitors to Dubrovnik, something like the walls.

The virtual museum will rely on the use of several IT technologies, the solutions of which will be used in the making of the exhibits. In the museum, the visitors would be briefly acquainted with the rich heritage and history of the City, as well as the spiritual strength it has had since the 9th century to date. In addition to standard tourists and visitors to Dubrovnik, this virtual museum will be an excellent place for a different way of learning about the City for guests coming from luxury yachts and smaller cruisers. While anchoring will be prohibited for megacruisers between the City and Lokrum, smaller yachts and boats will be allowed to anchor in front of Lokrum and the guests will disembark in front of Lazareti. Beside the cultural tourism that will make its offer larger and more attractive by this virtual museum, Dubrovnik announces the possibility of opening a big congress center in Babin Kuk soon.
