Drniš - The Archaeological Collection in the National Park Krka
In Puljani, near Drniš, there recently opened the archaeological collection "Burnum" in the future scientific research center of the National Park Krka. The four rooms of the newly opened museum collection have been reconstructed to show the appearance of a Roman settlement and life in military camps.

The museum collection "Burnum" is the result of systematic research, which began in 2003. The site is located within the Krka National Park, above the canyon, waterfalls and lakes in the area of untouched nature. The archaeological collection is new the park’s offer, next to the site of a Roman amphitheater "Burnum." In addition to scientific objectives, the museum's collection aims to provide conditions for cultural tourism, and enhance the use of hitherto neglected northern part of the river Krka.

The exhibits were selected from the rich findings of architectural elements, gravestones, military equipment and weapons. It is expected that in the years to come the exhibition area of the archaeological museum will be doubled, the first in a series of completed constructions and tourist complexes in Puljani.
