But one of its most remarkable stories lay hidden beneath the water for nearly two thousand years. Today, visitors can meet Apoxyomenos, an ancient bronze athlete whose discovery has added a fascinating chapter to the island\u2019s history. The Bronze Athlete of Ancient Greek Art Found Beneath the Sea In 1996, a diver discovered the statue on the seabed near the small island of Vela Orjula, close to Lo\u0161inj. The sculpture portrays a young athlete using a strigil, a curved tool used in antiquity to scrape oil, sweat and sand from the body after exercise. Dating from the 2nd or 1st century BC, it is an exceptionally well-preserved work of ancient Greek art. After its recovery from the sea, specialists spent years carefully restoring it. A Glimpse into Lo\u0161inj\u2019s Ancient Maritime Past How did such a valuable statue end up off the coast of Lo\u0161inj? No one knows for certain. It may have been carried aboard a ship travelling through the Adriatic, but its intended destination and the circumstances of its loss remain a mystery. The discovery offers a glimpse of the ancient journeys that passed through the waters around the island. It also reminds us that Lo\u0161inj\u2019s connection with the wider world began long before modern tourism. A Museum Built Around One Extraordinary Work of Art Apoxyomenos- Apoksiomen has a home of his own in Mali Lo\u0161inj. Located in a historic waterfront building, the Museum of Apoxyomenos is devoted to this single sculpture. Its rooms guide visitors through the story of the discovery and restoration before the visit culminates in a close encounter with the bronze athlete himself. The museum turns one remarkable object into an experience of archaeology, art and design. Visit the Museum of Apoxyomenos in Mali Lo\u0161inj If you are exploring Lo\u0161inj, make time for the Museum of Apoxyomenos. It offers a memorable change of pace from a day at the beach and a chance to discover a story that belongs to these waters. Visit the museum\u2019s official website to plan your visit.
