The archacological park with the archacological museum building is currently under construction at the archacological site of Vucedol near Vukovar. The park and museum are built in the scope of the international project for renovation and revitalization of the Odescalchi Castle in Ilok, and the baroque city centre with Eltz Castle in Vukovar. The museum and park will be fully consecrated to the Vucedol culture that had spread from these areas to some ten countries, from Greece in the south, to Poland in the north, and the Czech Republic in the west. It is an Indo-European culture that was at its peak in the European area from 3000 to 2400 B.C. They were familiar with movement of stars and used pictographic writing. In addition, they had characteristic and highly valued ceramics, and a developed metallurgy. The project was developed by the Architectural Workshop from Zagreb. The main building will be situated on an elevated ground above the Danube. Old artisanal workshops will be reconstructed, and a megaron, i.e. a foundry which was probably used as acropolis. will be renovated. The Streim Villa will also be renovated in the scope of the museum, and will be used as a separate research centre. In addition to numerous museum-related events, various recreational, sporting and tourist amenities are also planned.
