Exhibition in the Tieranatomisches Theater, Berlin
It is with great pleasure that the Ostia Forum Project together with the Ostia Graduiertenkolleg can reveal that we are going to make an exhibition at the Tieranatomisches Theater in Berlin starting April 1 2022. For now, it is planned to run until September 15 2022.
At the moment, we are all working hard on how to approach exhibiting an excavation and what this should involve. Indeed, the exhibition does not only concern the excavation as such, but does also include the scientific results. We are going to have different types of presentations regarding the ongoing research and results in the heart of Rome’s ancient harbour city, but we are also going to provide the opportunity of experiencing our research through Virtual Reality made by our new cooperation partner, Jakob Korbel from the Technische Universität Berlin.
We are all very excited about this new perspective and opportunity of our projects.
Last but not least, we also wish everybody a io Saturnalia.
