In the Zagreb City Museum during the exhibition “Secrets of iron” a small thematic exhibition “Okuj(m)e! Traces of early iron production in Zagreb area” can be seen. This informative exhibition reveals details and insights into the life and work of people in ancient times in the immediate vicinity of the city of Zagreb, in the wider vicinity of the Sava river. It is an area with very similar geographical characteristics as the area along the Drava river, both very suitable for the production of iron in the pre-industrial era (Aleksandra Bugar) (pdf).
