PROGRAMME AT THE SOUTH TYROL MUSEUM OF ARCHAEOLOGY:

4:00–10:00 p.m.
Backstage: Research Up Close

Trees tell stories of the past, high-resolution images open up new worlds, archaeological excavations in the mountains offer insights into the lives of our ancestors on Alpine pastures, and microscopic organisms could pose a serious threat to Ötzi.

Touch, ask, discuss and understand: our experts bring research at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology to life for visitors of all ages.

4:00–8:00 p.m.
Look Closely! – How to Draw Archaeological Finds

Drop-in activity for children

It is amazing how many tiny details you can discover when drawing an archaeological find! It is not always easy, but even a small fragment can reveal what the complete object originally looked like. Try it yourself and watch a real professional at work! 

10:00–11:30 p.m.
Live Music with Medea Hinteregger
