Exhibition "Bioarchaeology of Djerdap gorge" in an interesting way presents visitors the unique culture of Lepenski Vir, which was discovered on the Serbian side of the Danube in Djerdap in the early sixties, whose research was continued in 2006.

Also bone projectiles used in hunting, stone pistons used in fishing, remains of caught animals, necklaces and other objects used for decorating, as well as the remains of skeletons of dogs and wolves, which are tamed in this area, according to comparative analysis. In addition to these exhibits from Lepenski Vir, two Neolithic figurines, women with a baby and a pregnant woman, will be exhibited, which were found at the site of Vinča near Belgrade and are of exceptional cultural and historical importance.
