Exhibition: Face to Face with Prehistory

Francais - Nederlands

Face to Face with Prehistory is a new travelling exhibition (August 2025 – December 2026) that brings Belgium’s distant past to life through science and art. In collaboration with Dutch artists Kennis & Kennis, and Ulco Glimmerveen, experts from Ghent University have reconstructed the face of a Mesolithic woman from the Meuse valley using anatomical, genetic, and archaeological evidence as well as the environment in which she lived and died. This unique project blends cutting-edge research with artistic reconstruction to offer a vivid glimpse into post-Ice Age Europe.

Explore the fascinating world of our prehistoric ancestors as the exhibition travels across Belgium.
