Follow in the footsteps of our chief archaeologist, Jean Ducaillou! Explore the museum at your leisure with your archaeologist’s toolkit and discover his exciting work, from excavations to the final report. It’s your turn to play!

Description

Discover archaeology while having fun with this family-friendly game. Explore the museum at your own pace with your toolkit, which includes cards and small materials explaining each step of the scientific process. You’ll draw, write, or put things together. But Jean Ducaillou can be a big kid sometimes! He’s prepared quizzes, puzzles, and little games for you!
