Why visit Vučedol Culture Museum
The Vučedol Culture flourished on this Danube bluff around 3000 BC and produced the famous 'Vučedol Dove' — a small ceramic vessel that's become an unofficial national symbol. The award-winning museum is built into the hillside above the excavation site, with 19 chambers walking you through the daily life, metallurgy and calendar-carrying pottery of the culture.

History
The Vučedol Culture flourished on this Danube bluff around 3000 BC and produced the famous 'Vučedol Dove' — a small ceramic vessel that's become an unofficial national symbol. The award-winning museum is built into the hillside above the excavation site, with 19 chambers walking you through the daily life, metallurgy and calendar-carrying pottery of the culture. A quiet, world-class stop most travellers miss.
“The Vučedol calendar, pressed into ceramic bowls, is one of Europe's oldest surviving depictions of a systematic seasonal calendar with constellations.”
