Through the comic heroes Asterix and Obelix, the Celts are known as comical ruffians. But what were people really up to in the Iron Age? How did they live here in Breisgau? An interactive discovery tour shows that the Celts were not only courageous heroes, but also pioneers in arts and crafts. They travelled far and wide and traded. Unique finds, hands-on stations and illustrations invite children and young people on an exciting journey through time.

Urformen – Figürliche Eiszeitkunst Europas

Archäologisches Museum Colombischlössle

Zur Entwicklung von Kulturen gehören künstlerische Ausdrucksformen. Schon vor bis zu 42.000 Jahren entstehen in ganz Europa erste Tier- und Menschenfiguren. Für die Ausstellung wurden einige altsteinzeitliche Objekte aus Originalmaterialien wie Mammut-Elfenbein nachgebildet. Anfassen ist hier ausdrücklich erlaubt. Das Projekt der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Weltkultursprung und der Universität Tübingen ergänzen in Freiburg hochkarätige Originale.
