We are very happy to announce the opening this Saturday of the exhibition “Testerep and drowned Ostend”.
This exhibition takes you on a fascinating journey through 10,000 years of coastal history. Dive into the past and discover how archaeological artefacts, art objects, old photographs and films, historical maps and digital reconstructions paint a vivid picture of the history of Testerep and the city of Ostend.
The science-focused exhibition also offers a behind-the-scenes look at our research, giving an insight into how archaeological fieldwork, scans of the seabed, sediment cores, and mathematical models help us understand the evolution of the coastal landscape.
The exhibit provides a rich, interactive experience for visitors of all ages. The story comes to life through artistic impressions, soundscapes, hands-on experiments and a LEGO model of drowned medieval Ostend. Younger visitors can also take part in the ‘Testerep Quest’, an exciting escape game that playfully guides them through the Testerep story.
Don’t miss this opportunity to uncover the hidden past of the Belgian coast.
