Prehistoric Period<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The archaeological material displayed in the lobby shows the relics of migrations in the Travnik region from the oldest period of humanity. On the wall, left of the entrance, there is a tablet with texts mentioning the local topography such as Velika Pe\u0107a, Mala Pe\u0107a, and other caves and grottos fit for Palaeolithic man who lived approximately 30.000 years B.C.<\/span><\/p>\n

To prove such a hypothesis is possible only with systematic archaeological exploration, as has been that conducted in 1950 in one of the oldest localities in the area, the Neolithic settlement of Nebo (the village of Brajkovi\u0107i) from the early Stone Age (5000 B.C.), and the so-called Butmir culture, in the valley of the Bila river. In the nearby Mujevine, an even older Neolithic settlement has been revealed, from the so-called Kakanj culture, which was later destroyed by river erosion. In the Valley of the La\u0161va river, at the locality of Crkvine, a third Neolithic settlement has been discovered as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

To the left of the entrance, in wall cabinet number 1, stone and quartz tools found in the area of Brajkovi\u0107i are displayed. In the same closet various items from the Bronze and Iron Age (13th<\/sup> century \u2013 1st<\/sup> century B.C.) are also shown.<\/span><\/p>\n

In ground cabinet number 2, ceramic items found on the prehistoric site and collected during the marking of the area in Zenepi\u0107i (Novi Travnik) are displayed, as well as stone and quartz tools from the Neolithic site Nebo in Brajkovi\u0107i. Excavated items from Zenepi\u0107i location all belong to central Bosnia\u2019s cultural group of the late Bronze and early Iron Ages (1200-800 BC). The remaining thirty sites in the Travnik area are about to be explored.<\/span><\/p>\n

In cabinet number 3, a bronze helmet of Greek-Illyrian style is shown and it is a part of the battle equipment of an Illyrian warrior. In the same cabinet ceramic items found during archaeological excavations at the Tarabovac site are displayed (11th<\/sup> – 9th<\/sup> Century BC).<\/span><\/p>\n

Roman Age<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To the right of the entrance, items from the Roman Age are shown. The Romans ruled over the area of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The Travnik region was densely populated at the time, and road remnants prove this, as well as villages\u2019 remains and burial and sacred monuments. The greater part of the excavations is found in the area of the contemporary villages of Turbe and Novi Travnik (Mali Mo\u0161unj).<\/span><\/p>\n

In cabinet number 4 fragments of two reliefs are displayed, showing nymphs and male and female figures, and also a pillar belonging to an altar found during basilica exploration in Mali Mo\u0161unj.<\/span><\/p>\n

In ground cabinet number 5, ceramic lanterns are displayed, and there are fragments of painted plaster from the basilica walls in Turbe, Roman coins which belonged to Antonius Pius, Claudius, Aurelian, Vespasian, Gordian, Maximilian, Diocletian and Constantine, silver coin by Julius Caesar; a sketch drawing and a photograph remain from the late antiquity basilica in Turbe, and also a photograph of the golden necklace with medallions in Byzantine style found in a tomb in the arched basilica.<\/span><\/p>\n

In wall cabinet number 6, photographs and a sketch of villae rusticae<\/em> from Rankovi\u0107i are displayed, as well as a certain number of single excavations (scissors, key etc.) from the areas of Puti\u0107evo, Travnik and Turbe.<\/span><\/p>\n

The well-known plate discovered by chance from the village of Fazli\u0107i with Latin inscription which refers to the town elder of Bistuae Nova county, indicates the possibility of an ubication of the above-mentioned ancient village in the affluent valley stretched between the rivers Bila and La\u0161va.<\/span><\/p>\n

A tombstone showing the deceased from the nearby village of Zuki\u0107i illustrates the dominant influence of the original artistic style reflected in the stone fragments found in Mali Mo\u0161unj and on the pilaster capitals of the villae rusticae<\/em> from Rankovi\u0107i.<\/span><\/p>\n

An epigraph found in the village of Runi\u0107i is particularly interesting and it represents the only tombstone with a verse carminae epigraphicae<\/em> inscription in Latin found till now in the Bosnia and Herzegovina area. It was dedicated to a deceased son, Principium, by his parents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Middle Ages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With the Avaras and South Slavs breakthrough on the Balkan peninsula in the 7th<\/sup> century BC, the antiquity period gradually disappeared. In the Travnik area no remains of this early Slavic presence have been found, but there are some on other sites, such as Gradina, Gradac, Dub and Trebeu\u0161a.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Middle Ages are represented on the theme board. Next to that is displayed a plaster cast of the stone plate with the inscription found in Varo\u0161luk (Turbe), in the mausoleum of Batalo Santi\u0107 who was a ruler of La\u0161va County at the end of the 14th<\/sup> Century. In the inscription written in bosan\u010dica<\/em> lettering, aside from tep\u010dija Batalo, a writer of the text itself Radomil Dijak is mentioned.<\/span><\/p>\n

Material remains from the Middle Ages are significant in the Travnik area. Over fifty locations with tombstones (ste\u0107ci) are preserved. Very interesting and characteristic for this region are stone sarcophagi with covers. There is also a child\u2019s sarcophagus displayed from the region of Glavica (Han Bila), which was systematically explored in 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

In cabinet number 7, two medieval swords are displayed, as well as ceramic crockery found during excavations in the Old Town, and medieval coins by Hungarian king Ljudevit and Bosnian kings Tvrtko II, Toma\u0161 and Stjepan Toma\u0161evi\u0107.<\/span><\/p>\n

Above the cabinet a scheme drawing of the genealogical tree of the Bosnian ruler family Kotromani\u0107 is displayed.<\/span><\/p>\n

A fragment from a bifora belonging to a ruined noble family house in Stari Grad is also displayed. It is assumed that Travnik Fort was built by the Bosnian king Tvrtko II Kotromani\u0107 at the beginning of the 15th<\/sup> Century, while other forts such as Tori\u010dan, Grac, O\u0161trc, Vrbenac, Karahod\u017ee and \u0160kaf were built by nobility for their own purposes. Only the Travnik fortress was completely preserved due to the fact that it was inhabited by the Ottoman Turks\u2019 army in 1463 after the invasion. Oriental settlement flourished afterwards at its foot near the former medieval trading market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ottoman Era<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition was organized as a whole composed of two theme parts. To the right of the entrance, a museum body with cabinets and panels is displayed. The other end of the room has the function of a Bosnian room with its interior decorated with carved furniture made in workshops in Konjic. Aside from its museum value, this part of the exhibition has a function as the museum\u2019s wedding room since 1997 due to Travnik Municipality\u2019s laws.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"torbica\"<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

To the left of the entrance, on the wall, a panel has been placed with photographs of characteristic and the most representative objects which have been preserved as culture monuments to this day. They bear witness to the important economic, cultural, educational and notably governmental role Travnik had during the 17th<\/sup> and 18th<\/sup> Centuries as part of the Bosnian province and viziers\u2019 headquarters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Items displayed in cabinets bear witness to the Oriental and Islamic civilization influence, on culture institutions and on the era itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Urbanization and new currents are reflected through settlement constructions and shuttles, aqueducts, epigraphs carved in stone formerly constructed both in sacred and functional objects (such as mosques, clock-towers, and fountains), manuscripts rewritten and used in madrassahs and tekkes, Arabic inscriptions, writing tools, seals, urban garments, jewellery, handmade materials, and made by a town\u2019s craftsmen (tinsmiths, coppersmiths, tailors etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n

In the cabinets, cold and fire weapons are displayed (maces, axes, holsters, guns, gun-powder modules, bullets moulds etc.)<\/span><\/p>\n

With several photographs and a Korkut Tower layout made by Mesud Sari\u0107 and a short following text, a traditional dwelling architecture with regional characteristic is represented, usually known by its name Travnik House<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A separate part of the central museum area is dedicated to the Viziers\u2019 Konak, which was a sultan\u2019s residence (saraj) where his retinue used to live during the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The layout of Konak (1:50), torn down in 1950, was made by local modeller Zlatko Hodnik. Drawings, sketches of the building, reprints of old photographs of Travnik and Konak are also displayed, as well as several of the sultan\u2019s official documents addressed to his viziers based in Travnik.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carved doors decorated with characteristic Bosnian ornaments (rosetta motives, ropes and ornamental bolts) are displayed on the wall and the doors were part of the Viziers\u2019 Konak. Next to the Konak layout, representative local garments are displayed in cabinets, as well as everyday decorated objects such as a leather belt, mobile lantern etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n

With a photograph which shows Travnik\u2019s appearance after the devastating fire in 1903, a story about Ottoman rule which lasted several centuries ends here. A new chapter of Travnik construction begins: its Austro-Hungarian influence and a characteristic appearance developed in the later years.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
