The Narona Museum in Vid celebrates 30 years since the discovery of the Augusteum with guided tours and a new exhibition. This event is part of the European Archaeology Days and includes a presentation of the discovery, excavation, and protection process of the Augusteum, as well as an exhibition of works from the 1995 excavation. Numerous marble statues of Roman emperors were found, leading to the establishment of Croatia’s first in situ archaeological museum in Vid, the ancient Roman city of Narona.
