How did people explain the world to their children 1000, 5000 or 10,000 years ago? Were earth and water separated, were there battles between monsters or did a cow lick someone out of the ice? In a tour we deal with myths and stories about beginnings and origins. There are sources from the Middle Ages, Iron and Bronze Ages that echo how people explain the world to themselves and to others.

In the Middle Ages there were no games especially for children. The tug-of-war or horseshoe throwing was sure to be fun for everyone, regardless of age. Conversely, girls could spin wool and boys could make wooden nails like adults. Children can try out all of this and other exciting activities with the Düppeltaler in their pockets at the children's party.

Arkéos - Musée et Parc Archéologique (FR)

Member of EXARC
No

This museum was created by the Douaisis Community in order to promote the archaeological discoveries of the area, due to excavations that lasted almost 40 years. With its two axes, the museum and the park, Arkéos aims at offering an interpretation of the history of a territory and of those who shaped it.

The archaeological park, spread in 75.000 m2, is accessible to the public through a passage connecting it to the museum. The Park is devoted to the Medieval times (11th century), and consists of a number of reconstructions of medieval buildings and natural spaces relevant to the historical context. The buildings are reconstructed based on the traces and the remains found during the excavations. A special attention is drawn to the year 1000, which is unique for the region.
