This year, Archeopark Pavlov will once again join the worldwide celebrations of archaeology and we have once again prepared a rich event program. The International Archaeology Day with the subtitle “How I dug” will be in the spirit of this year’s accompanying exhibition How we (hunted) dug mammoths, which is devoted to the topic of mammoth deposits as a phenomenon of mammoth hunters, but also primarily to the work of archaeologists themselves across several generations captured in photographs.

On Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the gates will be open to all archeology lovers completely free. There are three guided tours of the permanent exhibition at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. Narration “On research under Pálava then and now with prof. Jiří Svoboda” (Institute of Archaeology Czech Acad Sci, Brno) will start from 11:00 a.m. At 1:00 p.m. there will be a guided tour with the authors of the accompanying exhibition How we (hunted) dug mammoths, Mgr. Soňa Boriová, Ph.D. and Mgr. Ondřej Herčík from Institute of Archaeology Czech Acad Sci, Brno.

In addition, this program will be supplemented with several activities. In the exhibition, it will be possible to participate in two games not only for families with children, namely “Paws into the past” and also the game “Lost bones.” In the second of the games, after its successful completion, you can participate in a draw for interesting prizes from the Pavlov Archeopark collection. From 12:00, there will also be an archaeological photo corner, where everyone can become an archaeologist at least for a while and enrich this year’s accompanying exhibition with their picture. #jakjsemkopal
