The Fuerteventura Archaeological Museum is set to offer a unique experience for families with its upcoming event, 'Archaeology Mission: Family Adventure in the Museum', scheduled for Saturday, 14 November, starting at 11:00 AM.
According to Rayco León, the councillor for the area, the initiative aims to combine learning, play, and participation to uncover the culture and lifestyles of the island's ancient inhabitants. The museum will transform into an exploration space where both children and adults can navigate its halls alongside historical characters who will provide insights into various aspects of the island's past.
During the theatrical route, families will discover the traces and rock engravings left by the ancient Majos, as well as elements related to their habitat, diet, beliefs, and material culture, referencing pieces from the museum's collection.
The day will also feature a practical workshop on traditional Canary Island intelligence games, designed to challenge participants' ingenuity, reasoning, and teamwork skills.
This activity is developed in collaboration with Siembra Patrimonio and aims to present historical and archaeological knowledge in a dynamic manner suitable for families. It is targeted at families with children aged six and above, who must be accompanied by an adult.
Due to limited capacity, prior registration is required by emailing museoaf@cabildofuer.es, including the names of participants and the ages of the children. The event will take place at the Fuerteventura Archaeological Museum in Betancuria.
