Event overview

Archaeological research plays a key role in museum work, serving as a bridge between the past and the present. One of the main aspects of this connection is authenticity. Archaeological finds provide primary sources that allow us to understand history and culture on a deeper level. This is especially important for museums situated at cultural crossroads or in historically complex regions.

Learn more about the significance of such research in the museum context through tours led by Yaroslava Nazarova, the curator of the Narva Museum’s archaeological collection. She will discuss the construction and research work conducted in the Western Courtyard of Narva Castle from 2016–2022 and introduce the new exhibition, "Archaeological Field Research in Estonia 2023."

The tour will be conducted in Estonian and Russian:

  • 16.11 at 13:00 — Tour of the Western Courtyard with the curator of the archaeological collection (in Russian)
  • 16.11 at 15:00 — Tour of the Western Courtyard with the curator of the archaeological collection (in Estonian)

The tour begins in the Western Courtyard of Narva Castle. The ticket includes admission to the exhibition.
