Feeling cultured?

As DuList reports on the 15th of September, 2017, Dubrovnik Museums (Arheological Museum) in cooperation with the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb will open an exhibition of Roman earrings at Revelin Fortress in Dubrovnik today, beginning at 20:00 this evening.
This exhibition will showcase 50 golden Roman earrings from the 1st to the 4th centuries, including luxurious specimens decorated with pearls and other precious stones. These tiny but incredible pieces of history are mainly random finds from over the years from various known ancient sites such as Siscia (Sisak), Salona (Solin), Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica), Viminacium and more.

Typologically, the pieces are very varied, from simple shapes to top-of-the-line craftsmanship works with a variety of different techniques.

The authors of the exhibition are Dora Kušan Špalj and Nikoleta Perok. The exhibition is accompanied by a bilingual, Croatian-English catalog, as well as souvenir copies of the earrings on display.

The exhibition will remain open for all at Revelin Fortress until November the 15th, 2017.
