The first collections on the history of seafaring in Piran-Pirano were presented in the Piran Municipal Museum, established in 1954 in the 19th-century Gabrielli Palace. In 1967 the Municipal Museum was renamed the Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum of Piran. Since that time the museum has conducted extensive research into Slovene maritime history and maritime archaeology, building up an important collection of objects belonging to the material cultural heritage connected with seafaring (maritime historical, art historical and ethnological collection) or with maritime economic branches (salt-making, fishing, maritime trade and the like).


In 1979, as the result of co-operation with Slovenia's only shipping company Splošna plovba Piran (Portorož), a branch maritime collection was installed in the villa of St Mark in Portorož. Two years later in 1981 Tona's House, an old Istrian dwelling in the village of St Peter on the Dragonja, was renovated and opened as an ethnological collection. A third branch museum collection was opened in 1991 following the renovation of a house in the Sečovlje saltpans; in the following years other houses in this location were renovated and the number of the saltpans was increased.

Since 1995 the harbour in front of port of Piran in front of the Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum has housed the museum's first renovated ship - a yacht (of the cutter M6 type) previously owned by world-famous ballet dancers Pia and Pino Mlakar.

The Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum also includes a well-stocked Library containing nearly 14,000 books. It is a member of the International Congress of Maritime Museums (ICMM) and a founding member of the Association of Mediterranean Maritime Museums (AMMM).
