An Anthropological Investigation at the Museum! Become a Detective of the Past!
Can bones reveal secrets from hundreds or even thousands of years ago? How can we uncover the story of a person who can no longer tell it themselves? We invite children and adults to an extraordinary adventure where science meets a detective mystery, and the museum transforms into the scene of a fascinating investigation!
This is no ordinary lecture! Participants will step into the shoes of real researchers of the past, discovering the methods used by scientists who can extract an incredible life story from the seemingly silent testimony of bones. What awaits the participants? An encounter with a human skeleton — get an up-close look at (and even touch!) replicas of human bones, while uncovering the secrets of their structure. Facial reconstruction from a skull — discover how scientists reconstruct a person’s appearance based on their skeletal remains.
Little Anatomists in action — younger participants will create their own paper skeletons by cutting out and assembling the individual parts. It’s a fantastic, creative, and accessible way to learn about the human skeletal system. Facial reconstruction workshop — for the grand finale, budding anthropologists will use a model skull and clay to sculpt a human face. Will they be able to recreate the features of an unknown individual?
