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.

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
