About Gallery Rally
Gallery Rally Pula, known locally as Reli po galerijama, is an annual cultural event that connects galleries and exhibition spaces across Pula in a single interactive evening. Instead of taking place at one venue, the event encourages visitors to move through the city, discover different exhibitions and experience Pula through its contemporary art scene.
The Gallery Rally concept was created in 2015 as a new way to develop audiences for galleries and contemporary art. Pula joined the programme in 2019, when galleries in the city became part of the multi-location format. Since then, Pula editions have brought together changing selections of galleries and cultural spaces, with each edition presenting the exhibitions and artists on view at that time.
The event is designed around active participation rather than a fixed guided itinerary. Visitors can choose the order in which they explore participating galleries and record the locations they have visited. Printed maps have traditionally formed part of the experience, while more recent editions have also introduced digital tools and QR codes.
Exact dates, participating galleries and additional programmes vary between editions. Recent Pula editions have taken place in autumn, so visitors planning around Gallery Rally should check the official programme for the current year.
Explore Gallery Rally
Gallery Rally turns a visit to Pula’s galleries into a route through the city. Participating spaces may range from dedicated contemporary art galleries to museum and cultural exhibition venues, allowing visitors to encounter different artists, media and curatorial approaches during the same evening.
There is no need to follow one prescribed route. Visitors can move between participating locations in their preferred order, making the event equally suitable for a complete gallery circuit or a shorter selection of exhibitions. The walk between venues is part of the experience, connecting Pula’s art spaces with its historic urban centre.
The interactive element has developed alongside the event. Visitors traditionally marked their progress on a printed gallery map, while recent editions have also used a web application and QR codes to record visits. Completing the full route can lead to a symbolic diploma or recognition at the end of the Rally.

VisitPula Our Take
Gallery Rally Pula is particularly worthwhile for visitors interested in contemporary art who also want to experience the city beyond a single museum or gallery. Its citywide format makes the journey between exhibitions part of the evening and provides an accessible introduction to several parts of Pula’s art scene at once.
Allow several hours if you want to explore a large part of the route, although the flexible format also works well for a shorter visit to selected galleries. Comfortable walking shoes are useful because participating venues are spread across different locations.
The programme changes with every edition, so check the current Gallery Rally information before setting out. The participating venues, route, exhibitions and exact event date should always be confirmed for the year of your visit.
