The Working of Metals gallery describes the mining, smelting and metalworking processes that are behind every single metal object that is on display in the Gold Museum.
Not only the metalsmith but also the miner transformed the materials that nature offered, in order to create these timeless works of art, and they therefore deserve our fullest admiration. They were also thought of as wise men, and sometimes even as shamans, by their ancient communities. |

The unique experience of visiting a museum cannot be replicated on the Internet; this page and the links from it nevertheless offer you much more information, but necessarily much less emotion and impact than a visit, when you can discover the original works of art and the lives of ancient societies at first hand. As an invitation to visit the Museum, we are pleased to welcome you to this virtual introduction to the permanent exhibition.
As with a museum, you can look in depth at certain issues or pass rapidly over others. The "Back" button on your browser will help you find your way again. |
