From January, one appointment a month in the new MAT Antiquarium of the Catacombs of Villagrazia di Carini
We are happy to announce that the children’s educational workshops are finally back in operation and, from the end of January onward, will become a regular monthly event. An important novelty makes them even more special: from this year they will be hosted in the brand new and impressive MAT Antiquarium, which was opened very recently and is located in the area above the Early Christian Catacombs of Villagrazia di Carini.
An ideal place to welcome young children and accompany them to discover archaeology through hands-on, creative and fun experiences.
The workshops are designed for children aged 5 to 11 years old and consist of two parts:
A fascinating tour of the largest early Christian cemetery in western Sicily and the small museum that houses its artifacts, guided by archaeologists specializing in education.
Each month a different activity to experience archaeology with your own hands:
All activities are conducted by professional archaeologists with experience in outreach and children’s education.
Ancient pottery workshop in the MAT Antiquarium:
After the visit, children will take a close look at the ceramic artifacts on display in the Antiquarium, learning to recognize shapes, decorations and traces of use.
This will be followed by the most creative part of the workshop: clay modeling, during which each child can make a small artifact inspired by objects from the past. A hands-on, fun experience to understand how a pot is made and how pottery tells the story of daily life in ancient communities.
Those who wish to participate in the catacomb tour can do so by purchasing the ordinary ticket of €5.
MAT Antiquarium – Area above the Catacombs of Villagrazia di Carini State Road 113, Villagrazia di Carini (PA)
Reservations are required. You can make a reservation by calling 📞 320 8361431 or by sending an email to ✉️ info@archeofficina.com
