Archeology

Welcome to the beginning of the journey. This part of the museum is dedicated to the prehistoric and antique periods of our human history. One of the earliest settlements in the Balkans happened in this region around 6500 BC when the first agricultural people sailed over the Aegean Sea and settled in today’s Greece. What’s unique is the high level of culture that thrived for its time, compared to the lack of such in some other parts of Europe. Here we see the clash of cultures from the south on one hand and from the northwest, today’s Serbia, on the other. The rivers in the region were natural communication paths that helped the exchange of material goods and diversified the local culture, establishing the unique characteristics of this region during the Hellenistic and Roman times.
