Experiment A
The Association Experiment A works in the field of experimental archaeology. Their task is to find answers to questions or theories posed by archaeologists by using resources of experimental archaeology on a scientific basis. Public access is made possible through their participation in historical events and workshops. A project concerned with medieval times led them to recreate their own costumes based on the Codex Manesse.
Art and culture event “les urbaines 2011” in Lausanne
Our participation at the urban art event in Lausanne urbaines 2011. The Swiss artist Pascal Schwaighofer created a special wax sculpture for the event.
A weekend in Schwyz
We’ll present our medieval collection this week-end, Oct. 29 and 30 2011 at the Forum of Swiss History in Schwyz for the inauguration of a new permanent exhibit where some of our shoes will be part of the exhibit.
You can find us in medieval costume inside the Museum. I a way it does sound funny: Our Shoe Museum in a Museum ;O)
The little girl on the poster seems to point out how much it would be needed to know more about ancient footwear ;O)
Roman festivities in Vicques
The first Roman festival in Vicques for the inauguration of the information pavilion concerning the Roman villa that stood there 2,000 years ago.
The pavillion is a mini museum with big windows showing and models and copies of the object found on this site. No need to observe visiting hours, the collection can be seen day and night all year through. The event was planned to be festive, but most of all informative and educational. The local group of Volonteers (Groupement pour la revalorisation de la villa romaine de Vicques) did a spledid job indeed.
