The
exhibition Tweets from the Past. Slovenian archaeology through sounds, symbols and first written words will be created as part of the accompanying events of the
International Book Fair in Frankfurt in October 2023, when Slovenia will be the
guest of honour there.
The exhibition will present Slovenian archaeology
through objects that, with their sounds, symbols or written words, in addition
to the way people lived in the past, reveal to us the slightly deeper dimension
of their spirituality, entertainment and explanation of the world around them. Each object
included tells a story and was made, handled, treasured, worn, consumed, lost
or discarded by someone who lived or wandered through the territory of today's
Slovenia. Individual objects, for example whistles, rattles, figurines, objects
with Venetian inscriptions, etc., allow access to presentations of important
Slovenian sites and to the narrative of the past of Slovenia as narrated
through archaeology.
