Building Community

12,000 years ago, the first settled communities in southeastern Türkiye built the world's oldest monumental structures and created extraordinary works of art. The exhibition on the 'Berliner Museumsinsel' presents sculptures, everyday objects, and jewellery from this pivotal period, offering insights into how people lived together during a time of profound transformation in human history. Archaeological finds and architectural reconstructions are complemented by contemporary photographic interpretations by Spanish photographer Isabel Muñoz, inviting visitors on an immersive journey into life at the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to settled communities.
