Description

Special Exhibition: ICE AGE

This year, the MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach is dedicated to the beginnings of modern humans in Central Europe. These beginnings date back approximately 40,000 years, to the Ice Age era (2.8 million to 11,700 BC), when Homo sapiens roamed the vast steppe landscapes as Ice Age nomads, following the herds of mammoths, horses, and reindeer. The exhibition displays various archaeological finds, reconstructions of clothing, weapons, and tools, an Ice Age camp, and a diverse animal world, all offering deep insights into the lives of the ingenious hunters and gatherers. Interactive areas for children, a life-sized mammoth, and a varied puzzle booklet make the exhibition a fascinating experience for young guests as well.

Hands-on Exhibition for Children

At a total of six stations, children and their parents are invited to actively participate. Which animals were hunted, and how was cooking done? Did colors exist in the Ice Age and how were they made? What can we learn from animal tracks and bone finds? What did a camp look like, and what kinds of shelters did people live in? And how long did it take to drill a hole in a bone flute? Through playful exploration, the topics of hunting, art, animals, dwellings, and experimental archaeology are brought to life. An exciting puzzle booklet also guides visitors through the exhibition.

MAMUZ is an experience museum and knowledge center for prehistory and historical archaeology. Across two locations – MAMUZ Castle Asparn/Zaya and MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach – there are countless themes to discover covering 40,000 years of human history! Each year, changing highlight exhibitions inspire visitors at the MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach.
