2018 Discover Museums in Berlin & Dig in the Roman City

This program, which has been scheduled by The Sanisera Archaeology Institute for International Field Schools, is divided in two main parts. In the first part of the course students will gain experience in archaeological fieldwork by excavating in the Ancient Roman city of Sanisera, located in the Mediterranean island of Menorca.

During the second part, students will visit Berlin to discover the archaeology and ancient art in The Pergamon and Neues Museums (which holds the famous Nefertiti bust), two of the most popular attractions in Europe.

The Pergamon and Neues Museums own an impressive collection of objects coming from Egypt, the Near East, Greece, and Rome. Among the main pieces we will see the bust of Nefertiti, Pergamon Altar, the Papyrus Collection, the Market Gate of Miletus or the Ishtar Gate of Babylon.

For the second part of the course, the Field Program has scheduled an archaeological tour around Berlin. This tour will have five days and explanations will be in English. During our course we will visit three museums:

Renowned archaeological treasures, such as the bust of Nefertiti will be visited in the Neues Museum along with the Egyptian Museum’s entire collection of Armana Art and papyrus collection, which are combined with world-famous exhibits from the Museum of Pre-history and Early History, such as the Le Moustier Neanderthal skull and Heinrich Schliemann’s collection of antiquities from Troy, to form a unique panorama of the early history of mankind.
