Archaeology Education Week in partnership with INRAP

“Archéô Musée” Day
The MuséoParc Alésia and INRAP (the National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research) have joined forces to offer school groups a completely new programme of activities. On the programme: an introduction to archaeology, its challenges and the consequences of archaeological looting, linked to the temporary exhibition “Trésor de Laignes”. During the day, pupils will have the chance to meet an archaeologist from INRAP and talk to them about their work. Through activities led jointly by the archaeologist and a cultural guide from the MuséoParc Alésia, they will explore archaeology in a hands-on way and try out various excavation techniques for themselves.
