Winterschooltrip

Winterschooltrip

Even in winter Archeon is open for schools. There are countless warm cottages and cabins to warm up!


Winter School Trips at Museumpark Archeon

During the winter season, Museumpark Archeon offers special winter school trips. During these trips, students are guided by an Archeotolk who takes them on an immersive journey through history. Schools can choose between two different formats: workshops on a specific theme across all time periods, or an activity route through selected time periods.


Winter School Trip with Workshops

Experience Archeon in winter with the special workshop program for schools! Three park-wide programs have been developed. Each workshop is built around the theme “Through the Ages” and takes students on a journey through three historical periods: Prehistory, Roman times, and the Middle Ages. In each time period, they receive a short introduction from an Archeotolk, followed by a hands-on workshop. At the end of the program, they not only leave with new knowledge, but also with their own handmade product!

Choice of three workshops:

- Cooking Through the Ages

Discover how people prepared their meals in different times! In each period, students learn about food, ingredients, and cooking techniques of the past, followed by a short cooking workshop. Of course, they also get to taste their creations – and receive a historical recipe card to take home and try out themselves.

- Painting Through the Ages

What is art, really, and how has it changed over time? Students explore painting techniques and art forms from three time periods. After each short introduction, they create their own artwork. At the end of the day, they take home a handmade triptych as a memento of their journey through art history.

- Jewelry Through the Ages

From prehistoric beads to Roman fibulae and medieval pendants – jewelry has always been significant. Students learn about symbolism, materials, and techniques, and in each period, they craft a small piece of jewelry to take home.
