- Real finds next door: the museum's galleries cover Madrid from prehistory to the Middle Ages, worth a look before or after
About
A hands-on family workshop on how archaeologists work, run by the Museo de San Isidro for Madrid's Science Week. Kids follow the research process step by step: digging a site, treating what comes out of the ground, then sorting and reading the remains. The museum's own galleries hold real finds from Madrid, from prehistory to the Middle Ages, so kids can see where the lab work leads.
