Abstract

A long-term exhibition prepared in cooperation with the Náprstek Museum and the Czech Numismatic Society explores various forms of coexistence of the ancient nations emphasizing the importance and benefits of more peaceful ways of cohabitation. Four exhibition rooms display the works of art as well as objects of daily use as sources of mutual cultural inspiration; even the war itself is shown in such context - its reflexion in the Greek myths and Greek arts is introduced.

The close connections between the prehistorical Central Europe and the ancient Mediterranean are also recalled. The ancient monetary systems, the most beautiful issues and the superb Hellenistic portraits are presented including their influence on the Celtic coinage.
