Housed in Posavje
Castle, the Posavje Museum is one of provincial Slovenia's richest museums, particularly
for its archaeological and ethnographic collections.
From the courtyard with arcades on the west side you ascend a staircase whose walls
and ceiling are illustrated with Greek gods, the four Evangelists and the Attems family
coat of arms. Rooms on the 2nd floor are archaeological; look out for the skeletons from
the 9th century BC unearthed near Dobova, the 5th-century BC bronze horse bridle and
the Celtic and Roman jewellery. In the ethnographic rooms, along with the carved wooden
bowls, decorated chests and plaited loaves of bread, there is a strange beehive in the shape
of a soldier from the early 1800s.
