A good year ago, the National Museum of Slovenia presented the Roman Stories from the Crossroadsas the first part of the new permanent archaeological exhibition to the public, so joining in the celebrations of the 2000th anniversary of Emona. Now the museum narrative continues with the outstanding material from the period that takes us from the disintegration of the western Roman Empire to the end of the Middle Ages.

The exhibition is composed of three basic sections, entitled The Collapsing Roman World, The New Homeland of the Slavs and The Medieval World. Archaeologists and conservators have ensured that visitors to the museum can see the precious fittings and jewellery of the inhabitants of that time, and learn about their dwellings and habits. A special corner is intended for children in order to set off on a trip to the turbulent time of the late antiquity.

A catalogue by the authors Timotej Knific, PhD and Tomaž Nabergoj, PhD, was also published to accompany the exhibition.
