Abstract
The main ideas behind the re-exhibition of the permanent collections of the Museum and the use of digital media are presented. For the first time in the Museum, the re-exhibition is supported by digital means. The Museum has focused on touchscreen displays together with mobile devices for organising and supporting the visitors. The Museum tablet application presented, allows the user to get a multilingual integrated approach for each item on display. The plans of the museum are focusing on augmented reality applications running on visitors’ smartphones. It is also shown that despite the restricted nature of the museum artifacts (fragments of stones with partial inscriptions) digital presentations can be successfully created, if complementary combined information from other archaeological fields and published research is employed.
