Clay is one of the most fascinating materials used in prehistory. Not only do clay vessels protect their valuable contents from all kinds of pests. The artistic design also inspires again and again.

From March 18, 2023, the MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach will be showing the special exhibition CELTS. The term "Celts" has always stimulated people's imagination. From antiquity to the present day, they have been portrayed as fearsome warriors, "noble savages", skilled craftsmen or custodians of secret knowledge.

Bread has been one of the most important foods in Machland since ancient times. Reason enough to take a look at how bread was baked in the past in our “Bread Baking” workshop during the Family Afternoon.

Another main focus on this day is fire. Here fire is made with flint, like thousands of years ago. A fiery affair not to be missed.
