"Hunters, gatherers, farmers" is a journey to the oldest history of man, to  the Stone Age. You will learn how prehistoric hunters hunted and why they lived in huts. You will know when the first farmers appeared in the vicinity of today's Biskupin, what plants they cultivated and why they lived in spacious so-called "Long houses" built of wooden poles. You will check what was on their menu, what means of transport (apart from your own legs) were available to them and where in Poland the oldest image of the four-wheeled car was discovered. In one word - you will see what the everyday life of the hunter-gatherer and the first farmer in our lands could look like and what were the main differences between them. There will also be shows of flint and prehistoric weaving, decoration and competitions.
