The Museum of Vojvodina has staged the San Neolitske Noći (The Dream of Neolithic Night) exhibition, showcasing the rich archaeological heritage of Serbia and depicting the life of people during the Neolithic period.
Lidija Balj and Andrej Starović are the exhibition’s authors which is jointly staged by the Museum of Vojvodina and the National Museum of Serbia, as part of the Fortress of Peace programme, which is implemented under the auspices of Novi Sad the European Capital of Culture project.
The exhibition was opened by the head of the Vojvodinian government, Igor Mirović, who said on the occasion that the Neolithic period was presented with a series of priceless artefacts bearing witness to a distant time, almost ten millennia ago, but also with the help of the latest technology, which, among other things, will bring the residents of the Lepenski Vir archaeological site to life in a fairly realistic manner.
The director of the National Museum of Serbia, Bojana Borić Brešković, said that the exhibition represents one of the most interesting prehistoric periods, “which gives us the opportunity to see objects, customs and beliefs from that time and understand what the life of the Neolithic communities was like”.
Director of the Museum of Vojvodina, Tijana Stanović Pešterac, noted that the exhibition consists of “more than 180 priceless objects”, adding “this is the first time since 1968 that a comprehensive exhibition on the Neolithic period has been staged”.
