Offers for children - With Kobi to the museum
Kobi - the little house ghost - is at home in the museum. He lives there in a slipper under the stove. At midnight, he eavesdrops on the old museum pieces when they tell stories about the past. He tells these exciting stories to the museum staff, who then pass them on to the children - stories from the old, old days.
Kobi offers:

3. excavate once like the archaeologists
Visitors learn about an excavation: what is an archaeological finding and how does one go about uncovering all the beautiful things it hides within? Shovel, trowel and scraper, but also paper and pencil are needed to follow the steps of the archaeologist until a vessel from the Stone Age, the Bronze Age or the Iron Age can finally be taken out of the earth and everyone can marvel at it.
The Archaeotechnical Centre works with replicas. This means that if a vessel is damaged during excavation - never mind, the archaeological ceramics working group will make new ones. The flints found in the Stone Age features are freshly cut and therefore sharp!
