This is the only exhibition of this type in Poland, where visitors can feel like archaeologists.  Modern architecture houses an original archaeological site, upon entering which you will be able to see medieval engineering: relics of fortifications made of wood and earth in the 10th century by settlers under the first members of the Piast dynasty as well as gothic walls of the bishops’ district. It is only here that you will be able to see authentic archaeological artifacts uncovered on the Cathedral Island and in the Śródka district and the faces of the first dwellers of Poznań, whose appearance was reconstructed by anthropologists. The tour of the Archaeological Reserve includes a visit to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary Church, with the viewing of the oldest palas of Mieszko I and the first Polish shrine, the Duchess Doubravka’s chapel.
