The Museo Arqueológico Nacional (MAN) in Madrid, Spain, is a premier institution founded in 1867 that preserves and exhibits extensive archaeological collections tracing the history of the Iberian Peninsula from prehistory to the 19th century. Located in the Palacio de Bibliotecas y Museos, it houses iconic pieces like the Lady of Elche, Roman mosaics, and Visigothic treasures. It regularly hosts activities such as workshops, storytelling sessions, and visits for children and their families.
Adults and children will have the opportunity to create a mosaic using the same techniques and materials that Roman mosaic artists used.
During the activity, participants will be able to shape and decorate prehistoric artifacts just as ancient potters did.
With the help of various objects, materials, and a reconstruction of an Iberian loom, participants will learn how textile fibers were obtained, how fabrics were made, and what they were used for.
