Children learn about the importance of both the science of archaeology and the discovery of important archaeological sites in human history, while learning the mythological meanings of the animal symbols in the exhibition by examining the visuals in the Isabel Muñoz: A New Story exhibition. Then, the children transfer the figures, engraved on stones by people thousands of years ago, onto cloth bags using the wood printing method.

Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL
