The exhibition “Wicina – a metallurgists’ settlement from 2,500 years ago” showcases the most interesting artefacts unearthed during many years of excavations at the Lusatian culture settlement – bronze, gold, glass and iron ornaments, items of armour, tools and pottery. The fortified settlement at Wicina is a special place. Built around 700 BC on the inaccessible marshes of the Lubsza floodplain, it was completely destroyed by the Scythians in the mid-6th or at the turn of the 6th and 5th centuries BC. The raid, which was a complete disaster for the local community, proved to be a blessing for archaeologists. Beneath a layer of burnt debris, the settlement’s ruins have survived virtually intact for almost 2,500 years.
