Ancient silver finds date back to the 5^th millennium BC and were excavated in the mountainous region between Asia Minor and Afghanistan. Silver is still popular worldwide in the form of jewellery or as a means of payment, as is testified by the Eva and Peter Herion collection in the Jewellery Museum’s »What is Jewellery?« presentation. The respective exhibition area can be rediscovered with this aspect in mind, not least with the help of a digital excavation table that allows visitors of all ages to slip into the role of archaeologists. With a little skill, they can unearth silver treasures from all over the world – an interactive fun game for the entire family. The originals can be admired in the relevant areas of the exhibition.
