STONE AGE EXHIBITION
Towards new hunting grounds
They are people like you and me. Constantly looking for new hunting grounds, as they defy nature’s limits of where people can live. At the end of the Ice Age, they look north and begin to wander.
12,000 BC – 1700 BC
The first immigrants
In the Stone Age exhibition, we follow the first hunters pursuing reindeer just after the ice has retreated. Over thousands of years, we experience the dramatic changes in nature, until we meet the last hunters, gatherers and fishermen on the coast, where they feast on oysters and master advanced crafts, possessing special tools and dugouts.
This will challenge people’s prejudices about the Stone Age. Moesgaard (...) presents an ambitious Stone Age exhibition, which questions common perceptions about people’s appearance and access to food.
Meet the Ertebølle people
In woodland areas, the Ertebølle people hunt animals for their fur, whilst the first farmers begin to clear and cultivate the land. Wheels roll over the land, the first beer is brewed and hierarchies form. War and conflict break out, the dead are laid to rest in impressive burial mounds, and the sun rises like a divine power, which the Stone Age people worship with their mysterious sun temples.
