European Archaeology Days

The EAD is a long weekend dedicated to archaeology in all its forms. We raise awareness and familiarise European audiences with all aspects of archaeology. A variety of events will be organised, aiming at engaging families, schools, students, history enthusiasts, museum visitors, as well as merely curious participants to discover this multifaceted discipline and their archaeological heritage. Despite the challenging times that Europe is going through in several levels there are still things that bring us together. Looking for a common ground, for cohesion and reciprocity, while all members preserve their cultural identity and diversity, the European Archaeology Days aim at sharing archaeological heritage throughout Europe and make culture accessible to all.

EXARC is thrilled to participate as a partner of the EADs. This is an opportunity for museums to excite their faithful public and expand their appeal to curious, yet hesitant, new visitors. It is also an opportunity to expand their practices, raise their ambitions and fulfil their purpose, knowing that they are part of a greater network. Archaeological open-air museums take part by introducing their own events for EAD, with individual members and associations present in museums or festivals throughout Europe. By participating in this European-wide event, EXARC members reach a larger audience and join fellow institutions in sharing the success.
