Das Making-of einer "riesigen" Ausstellung

The Institute of Natural Sciences has launched a website with the oldest art objects from Belgium. The website contains around forty iconic and unique artefacts of more than 12,000 years old, including jewellery, ornamented hunting objects, and the only Belgian Venus statuette from that era.

Belgien zählt nun offiziell einen sechsten Meteoriten: den von Tintigny. Das besondere Exemplar ist in unserem Museum zu sehen.
