Hands-on archaeology opens to the public at the Allard Pierson, the museum home of the University of Amsterdam's rich heritage collections. As part of Museumweek, the Archeohotspot gives visitors direct access to real material culture, working alongside researchers and volunteers to examine, sort and classify genuine historical finds. The Allard Pierson holds an extensive archive of Mediterranean and European antiquities, making it an ideal setting for understanding how excavated material is interpreted. It offers curious visitors of all ages an unhurried look at the practical detective work that underpins our knowledge of the past.
