The Municipal Archaeological Museum of Burriana (MAMBU) recently welcomed students from the Rafael Martí de Viciana Municipal Center of Arts (CMA) for an educational activity focused on the study of ceramics throughout history.

This initiative, which involved nearly 40 participants divided into two groups, consisted of a specialized visit-workshop. Attendees had the opportunity to delve into the evolution of ceramic techniques, the materials used, and the various decorative styles, spanning from the Neolithic period to modern times.
During the session, participants were able to observe and analyze original archaeological pieces firsthand. This direct approach allowed them to understand the importance of ceramics as an essential source for knowledge of past societies and their daily lives, appreciating details such as the manufacturing, typology, finishes, and decoration of each piece.

"This collaboration between the Archaeological Museum and the CMA highlights our historical heritage from an artistic and practical perspective. It is satisfying to see how our students learn to interpret Burriana's past through the direct analysis of pieces that narrate our evolution as a society."

The activity is part of the museum's educational and cultural program, which aims to bring archaeological heritage closer to all audiences and foster interest in local history through participatory and accessible experiences.
