19 March 2014

More than 380 gold and silver objects dating from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages discovered in Romania are on display in the central city of Deva.

Organized by the Roman and Dacian Civilization Museum, the exhibition features some treasures not yet seen by visitors, including very valuable items, such as the ritual costume and the jewellery of a Dacian priestess from Sărăcsău, the seven gold plates discovered at Germisara and the Medusa Gorgona object discovered at Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa.

Opened at the Magna Curia palace in Deva, the museum's headquarters, the exhibition could gather 100,000 visitors this year, its organizers hope. The exhibition is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 9 am to 5 pm.
