The exhibition 2000 YEARS OF ANDAUTONIA from the founding of
the Roman city to the Archaeological park marks the 2000th
anniversary of the first urban planning of the present day Zagreb
area. The results are also presented of long-term archaeological
excavations in Šcitarjevo, which resulted in the museological
presentation of the Roman city, which is thus present in space and
time even after 2000 years.
Original objects found in Šcitarjevo will be presented in the
context of finds and with explanation of their use, while
projections and computer reconstructions will present the Roman
architecture.
The exhibition will also present the project of further development
of the Archaeological park as the Ecomuseum of the Sava basin in
the Šcitarjevo area. At the exhibition visitors will have
opportunity to buy souvenirs made within the project of the visual
identity of the Archaeological park.
Every Saturday (until 1st July 2007), workshops will be organized
with the exhibition, and every Sunday for the duration of the
exhibition, the entry to the Archaeological park in Šcitarjevo will
be free.
During two days (Friday, 18th May, from 12:00 to 19:00 and
Saturday, 19th May, from 18:00 to 22:00) the program of the
Andautonia Days will be organized in the premises of the
Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, where the visitors will be invited

etc.) will be presented through a series of workshops.
