Stereotypes Neanderthalerin
In the organizer's words:
The world's first exhibition on the Neanderthal woman
from November 23, 2024 at the Neanderthal Museum
Do you think of muscle-bound men hunting mammoths when you think of Neanderthals? Time to change this image! In "Stereotypes of Neanderthals", we provocatively challenge our current ideas about prehistoric Neanderthal communities and do away with old clichés: How did the women, children and older people live? What tasks did they have? What actually is a family? And was there even such a thing as fixed roles?
Experience an exhibition that surprises, moves and asks critical questions - with exciting hands-on stations, exhibits that have never been shown before and a gripping audio tour, written by archaeologist and bestselling author Rebecca Wragg Sykes. She has developed four Neanderthal women who tell stories about their eventful lives based on well-known archaeological sites.
At the beginning, one of the four Neanderthals will randomly become your personal companion. At each new station, you learn more about her life and join her on an emotional journey into the past. She tells you about births, the loss of children and family members, hunting, everyday tasks and encounters with other people. Change your perspective with each new tour.
What actually is gender archaeology and which clichés also influence research? In short and easy-to-understand texts, the exhibition organizers explain what is known in research or where questions remain unanswered. There are special texts for children that explain the topics in a child-friendly way. Adults and children can have fun learning new knowledge at the many hands-on stations.
The special exhibition is accompanied by an exciting program of guided tours, workshops and other events - also for groups and schools. Together, we want to discuss stereotypes, question definitions and role models and, in particular, let the people who deal with these issues on a daily basis have their say.
