Snow, ice, wind and endless expanses. That is Greenland. But what else does this vast and scenically impressive country have to offer? In our exhibition EIS ZEIT REISE GRÖNLAND we take you on a journey through the archaeology and history of Greenland.
The starting point of the exhibition is the graphic novel ‘Qanga’, which means ‘back then’ in the Inuit language Inuktitut. In it, comic artist Konrad Nuka Godfredsen takes us back to the past of his homeland and to the roots of Greenlandic culture and history.
Experience the world of the Greenlandic natives up close: touch sealskins and tools, listen to their stories at the audio stations, learn a few words of Greenlandic and show off your artistic talent at the comic station.
The Mother of the Sea punishes the greedy humans who hunt sea animals in abundance by keeping the animals at the bottom of the sea and letting the humans starve. Your task is to travel to the bottom of the sea together with a shaman to appease her.
Take an exclusive EIS ZEIT REISE trip to Greenland. Together with your guide, discover the new special exhibition about the life of the people of Greenland, its breathtaking nature and wildlife. The programme will be tailored to your group.
From November, we will be showing the world's first exhibition dedicated exclusively to the Neanderthal woman. It aims to break with the cliché of the wild, spear-throwing Neanderthal man in a provocative way and shed light on the diversity of his community. It questions common stereotypes, definitions such as ‘family’ and role models of women, children and older people. The exhibition has been developed by us in collaboration with archaeologist and bestselling author Rebecca Wragg Sykes.
