Savnal mentions that the main USP of the workshop is that children will be allowed to touch the tools that they otherwise would get to see only through a glass wall. “We want them to fully understand the workings of civilisation back then. The workshop is about making museum collections more accessible to people, especially children, for whom touch is an essential sensory learning,” she adds.  The tools have been collected from different locations across the country. Savnal adds, “These differ from one location to another, as travelling wasn’t easy back then, and every society had its own lifestyle. This will help to give an insight into the various kinds of societies the country housed.”

The event is part of a series of workshops that CSMVS will be conducting to explore different objects from different time periods in history.  “Museum curators and experts who will take up the workshops have worked hard to create a guide for the children. The whole point is to make this information palatable and accessible to 
visitors and children,” Savnal signs off.
