Talking objects

Workshop for Children 

 

Through their form and function, the exhibits in the Museum ‘speak’ to us about the ancient Etruscans and tell us about their life, society, religious beliefs, trade and much more. Some objects, however, speak more than others because they show engraved or painted words in Etruscan, a language long considered mysterious. Writing, learned from the Greeks, became a powerful vehicle not only for exchanging experiences, ideas, rituals, but also for self-assertion. Observing the exhibits in the collection, it will be possible to reflect on the importance of words and learn how to compose an Etruscan inscription on ceramic or metal foil.
