The Sky Disc - Two Sides of the Same Coin

The Natural History Museum, in cooperation with the Brickish Museum, presents a sensational artifact from the Bronze Age that was only recently discovered: a two-sided Sky Disc. The bronze disc was colored through a special treatment. In addition, celestial bodies and animal figures made of gold and silver were incorporated.

So far, experts have only managed to decipher the representation of the sky during the day and at night. Hopefully the exhibition will provide further insights into the interpretation of the symbolism:

// Talented biologists among the visitors could help identify the animals.

// Masters of astronomy are needed to understand the constellation and its meaning.

// Finally, the best archaeologists must solve the mystery of why the animals were depicted on different sides and explain the general purpose of the disc.

The Sky Disc is staged in a darkened room illuminated by two strips of light that represent its duality. A video of it is projected on the wall.
