The Little Archaeologist
The Little Archaeologist is the educational programme of the Mosaic of Tirana, designed for school-age children. Through hands-on workshops, children are introduced to the fundamental methods of archaeology: how an excavation is conducted, how objects are classified, how a layer of soil is read, and how the life of the past is reconstructed from the traces it leaves behind.
