Archaeological museum on Humac
About This Museum
Tucked away in the hills near Ljubuški, this isn't your typical sterile museum; it feels more like stepping directly onto an archaeological site. The entire experience is anchored by the Humac tablet, a remarkable stone inscription that's considered the oldest written text in any form of Croatian. You'll find yourself face-to-face with ancient jewelry, weaponry, and everyday tools that whisper stories of the Illyrians and Romans who once walked this very ground. It’s a wonderfully intimate and raw look into the distant past.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is undoubtedly the Humac tablet, but don't rush past the beautifully preserved Roman tombstones or the intricate bronze fibulae. Seeing these personal items, from delicate earrings to formidable spearheads, makes the ancient world feel startlingly immediate.
