Later this month, Monaco’s Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique will host a family-friendly event offering an immersive experience into the fascinating world of archaeology. Designed to appeal to budding archaeologists of all ages, the event will combine education with hands-on activities, such as a workshop on early fire-making techniques.

On Saturday, 25th January, from 2pm to 4pm, visitors to the museum’s Archaeology Day event can enjoy exclusive access to the museum’s current exhibits, including the new L’Effet Papillon display on ecosystem transformations and the role of animals in evolution. They will also have the opportunity to explore a research laboratory typically closed to the public.

In addition, attendees can participate in a prehistoric fire-making workshop, where they will learn to replicate the methods used by early humans to spark flames.

With limited spots available for just 20 participants, early booking is essential. Admission is free, but reservations are required. To book a place, contact +377 98 98 80 06 or email map@gouv.mc.
