Open Workshop: ‘Embossed Ornaments’
About the exhibition ‘The Legacy of the Amazon – Art and Archaeology»
The Amazon region is often regarded as the epitome of unspoilt nature. Yet hidden deep within the lush jungle lie traces of past civilisations.

Every Sunday: 11 am – 4 pm
Doors open: 10.45 am, last admission 2 pm
Start: Introductions take place at 11 am, 12.30 pm and 2 pm.
