The Oldest Jewellery & Body Ornaments

Until 29th February 2023

Body adornment is common to all known human cultures. Interest in jewels, tattoo and other body decoration is probably inherent to each of us and is considered as expression of personal taste. But how was it with our ancestors? Thanks to rare depictions of humans we can have an idea of how those people looked like. Exceptionally, originals of all Palaeolithic venuses found on the territory of Czech republic will be on display and also very rare depiction of men e. g. the shaman’s puppet from Brno.

Opening hours: 10:00 - 18:00 daily

Admission: 280 CZK
