The Municipal Archaeological Museum of Burriana (MAMBU) organized an educational workshop on historical ceramics, where approximately 40 students from the Rafael Martí de Viciana Municipal Arts Center (CMA) explored the evolution of this art from the Neolithic period to modern times.

The activity, which gathered around 40 participants divided into two groups, offered an immersion into the technique and style of ceramics throughout different eras. The young people had the opportunity to closely examine authentic archaeological pieces, analyzing their manufacturing, typology, finishes, and decoration.
This practical approach highlighted the importance of ceramics as a fundamental tool for understanding ancient societies and their daily lives. The initiative is part of MAMBU's educational program, which aims to bring archaeological heritage closer to the public and foster interest in local history through interactive experiences.

"This collaboration between the museum and the CMA allows us to highlight the value of heritage from a practical and artistic perspective, enabling students to interpret the past through the direct analysis of the pieces."
