The Vučedol Culture Museum and Vučedol archaeological site received the Label in 
the selections for 2021 and 2022.

The Vučedol Culture Museum focuses on a single prehistoric culture, Vučedol Culture. It is located on the Danube River's right bank, close to the city of Vukovar. The newly constructed Museum building is integrated into the slope of the Vučedol archaeological site, which dates back to the Neolithic period (around 6,000 BC) and reached its apex during the Vučedol culture era (3,000 to 2,500 BC).

Vučedol Culture spread from its original territory - the area between the rivers Sava, Danube, and Drava - to the territory of today's thirteen European countries. This enabled the spread of the Indo-European tradition and numerous innovations such as the oldest four-wheel cart, the first bronze production, and the oldest Indo-European calendar. As a result, Vučedol Culture was a significant contributor to the development of European and Western civilizations, as well as a source of knowledge for numerous scientific studies.
