Discover the lives of early Slavs through outdoor and indoor experience points.

At the heart of this nearly 21,500-square-foot outdoor space is an impressive 1,400-square-foot imposing facility that houses an interactive museum, a small bistro, and support services (locker room, toilets, etc.). It is an extremely innovative architectural building with an open part and a terrace facing the sky towards nature. Inside this observatory there is an exhibition space, which is divided into three areas: bright (showcases, classical exhibitions and access to the amphitheater), transitional (interactive educational content for all parties) and dark (high-tech solutions that will not leave anyone indifferent and will literally change their perception of the world).

    WATER

    Rain, particularly during summer months, had always been a symbol of life and vitality for early Slavs. Their paths crossing rivers were relieved by making simple suspension bridges, podiums, they were particularly skilled in making boats from a single tree trunk. Their “understanding” of water provided great help in fishing, which, alongside hunting, was their main source of food.

    EARTH

    Early Slavs practiced a particularly peculiar animism, a faith in the all-present supernatural forces in nature and animals. Worshiping and respecting the land is a well remained practice in early Slavs, especially agriculture and soil healing. They used handmade weapons, like spears and axes in looking for food and fighting for resources.

    FIRE

    Early Slavs’ worshiping of fire was tightly related to the Sun. Due to the importance of fire, it was personified. From the mythical origin comes its mythical power and ritualistic character. They believed fire to have supernatural properties, similar to the place where it burned.

    AIR

    Svarog represented the deity of air in early Slavic culture. They often used to stare at the sky and looked for answers to their challenges. They would also seek shelter from extreme weather conditions in tree canopies.

Outdoor experience points

Outdoor or analog experience points are organically set between a forest to the west and a stream to the east. Guests and visitors can partake in a variety of activities, like a game and learning about the basic principles and laws of nature and the cosmos of early Slavs. They are based in a manner that directs visitors “to them” and to nature in an indirect and genuine way: back to basics.

Indoor experience points - light area

The pavilion interior is divided into two main areas. The light and dark part. The light part features a modern, well furnished display cabinet at its centerpiece, telling the story of early Slavs. The display cabinets are filled with relevant replicas from sites within the region and further. These will be upgraded in a special app, enabling visitors to discover the wider context locations of the exhibited items. The bright part of the pavilion will supplement the relaxation area, where one can relax while reading literature from the bookshelf. The resting area will also be equipped with an indoor bar with drinks and connected to the outdoor amphitheater, with an arranged passage through the glass door.

Indoor experience points - dark area

The dark area is intended for modern technology. It is divided into six different lobes or “grčas”. Of these, four are interconnected, with an established path between them. Two lobes are larger and meant for the climax of the visit of the pavilion’s interior. The individual surface of these two areas is 100 square meters, the total area of all dark areas is about 400 square meters.
