Fodor's Expert Review Vučedol Culture Museum

Located 6 km (4 miles) from the center of Vukovar on the road to Ilok is the impressive Vučedol Culture Museum, which celebrates the ancient Vučedol culture that once flourished in the vicinity. Exhibitions include the oldest Indo-European calendar, skulls demonstrating sacrificial practices, and the pit where the famous Vučedol Dove, one of the symbols of the city, was discovered. This fascinating museum, spread across 19 rooms and built on a slope so that it almost seems to be part of the landscape, is the first step in a planned archaeological park.
