Fuerteventura museum invites families to explore island archaeology in Betancuria
Families with children aged six and over can join a theatrical museum tour and traditional games workshop in Betancuria on 14 November.
Fuerteventura’s Archaeological Museum in Betancuria will host a family activity on Saturday 14 November, combining a theatrical tour of its collections with a workshop on traditional Canarian games.
The session, called “Misión Arqueología: Aventura familiar en el museo”, starts at 11am and is open to families with children aged six and over. Children must be accompanied, places are limited and advance registration is required.
During the tour, families will be accompanied through the museum by historical characters as they learn about the ancient majos, Fuerteventura’s early inhabitants. Using objects from the museum’s collection, the activity will explore rock engravings and traces of the majos’ homes, diet, beliefs and material culture.
A practical workshop will introduce traditional Canarian games of intelligence, with activities intended to test reasoning and cooperation. The event has been developed in collaboration with Siembra Patrimonio.
