The new Stone Age section in Moesgaard Museum’s permanent prehistoric exhibitions will provide visitors with a look at a period in Danish prehistory which is a far cry from the primitive days that many might usually associate with the Stone Age.

Research has revealed that the Stone Age was an epochal and diverse period where, for the first time, advanced societies were created with the required ground rules that come with having neighbours.

People in the Stone Age were healthy and highly specialised with a vast knowledge of nature’s resources and how to take advantage of them.

As a visitor in the Stone Age exhibition, you go on a journey through the time tunnel and experience, among other things, the first hunters on the hunt for reindeer just after the ice receded following the last ice age. You follow the country’s dramatic change over thousands of years and meet the last hunters, gatherers and fishermen at the coast, where they feasted on delicacies such as oysters.
