About C8 Gallery
C8 Gallery is a small, flexible exhibition venue operated by the Archaeological Museum of Istria. Located at Carrarina 8 in central Pula, it is designed as a contemporary gallery for archaeological, artistic and educational exhibitions.
The programme includes exhibitions produced by the museum and visiting institutions, thematic projects, presentations of archaeological research and collaborations with museums, associations and educational organisations. This changing programme means the experience depends on the exhibition taking place at the time of your visit.
The gallery’s name comes from the abbreviated form of its address, Carrarina 8 — C8. Its visual identity also refers to the octagonal mausoleum immediately beside the gallery, which can be seen through the gallery’s large glass wall.
Explore C8 Gallery
Inside, visitors encounter a compact exhibition space where displays change throughout the year. Depending on the programme, exhibitions may focus on archaeology, historical research, art, cultural heritage or educational themes.
The smaller scale makes C8 particularly suitable for focused exhibitions and temporary projects. Displays can include material from archaeological research as well as exhibitions created in cooperation with other cultural and educational institutions.
Before visiting, check the current exhibition programme on the Archaeological Museum of Istria website, as the subject and content on display change with each exhibition.
