Inside the building’s unique architecture, whose angles burrow beneath the earth to embrace the original find layers, we are presented with the stone and bone tools that people of the Gravettian culture used in their daily lives and during the hunt. A replica of the Dolní Věstonice grave of three young adults, meanwhile, confronts us with their burial rites, while their aesthetic sensibility is conveyed by the display of artistic artefacts, among which can be seen Venus figurines and animal sculptures.
Nor does the presentation overlook the fascinating history of the excavations, long associated with the discovery of the Venus of Dolní Věstonice, and the exhibition highlights the most valuable finds. These include the set of skeletal remains of modern humans, the oldest such ensemble available to anthropology today, as well as evidence of technology that humans employed perhaps for the first time ever at this very site – manufacturing ceramics, weaving textiles and grinding stones. One of the exhibition’s unique features is the midden of mammoth bones, which still remains in situ after being uncovered; its presence also allows us to imagine archaeologists busy working on the dig.
The stunning museum presentation, complemented by modern audio-visual technology, and the singularly impressive Archeopark building, awarded the prestigious Building of the Year prize for 2016, combine to offer visitors an exclusive experience in every sense.

**********************************
A real MUST for any traveller in South Moravia, especially if you are visiting Mikulov and Lednice and their architectural marvels. Also, the region as a whole is, quite deservedly, very popular among tourists.
The museum of Pavlov itself is captivating by the imaginative architecture as much as the display of the artefacts. Particularly interesting is the juxtaposition of (replica of) several contemporaneous so-called "Venuses" (plump ladies, that is) from all over Europe, illustrating striking similitudes.
The three-young-men-grave is also a highlight of the Archeopark (for an attempted reconstruction, see the Anthropos Pavilion at Brno -- see that entry).
Also, a pit where bones from several animals had been piled up, from Mammoth to lesser game, is very cleverly illuminated to help you identify the various species.
The coordinates give the entrance of the car park, just next to the entrance of the museum.
Complete with a boutique of pleasant souvenirs.
I repeat : a MUST to visut if you are in Moravia.
