Publicarchaeology.eu is dedicated to archaeological open air museums, public archaeology as well as experimental archaeology. We have collected literature references on these subjects which you can browse through, images of archaeological open air museums as well as a presentation of each of these museums. You can search by keyword, country and in some cases also by language. The archaeological open air museums themselves you will be able to find too on the Google Map.The current presentation is gradually being extended with more archaeological open air museums and images.
This website is meant to the appreciation of our colleagues and encouragement of others, both newbies and experienced. If there is any information missing or if you have any comments, please let me know and I will try to help.
