The Museum of Slavonia is the oldest museum in Slavonia and covers all aspects of the history of the region and that of Osijek. Its a great place to ramble about. Recently a museum of Archaeology has been established and the archaeological collectuon is in the process of being relocated.

Very nice and spacious two storey museum. At the bottom is a large spacious hall with wooden benches for seating. The exhibit material is mostly upstairs. They have various objects from the Stone, Bronze Age, Roman times and mostly the ancient past from these areas. Some stone objects even date back to 5000 BC. They have artifacts, ornaments, pottery, bones, weapons ... Very interesting and instructive.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
