In the organizer's words:

The new PETRI Berlin Archaeology Lab will open its doors to the public for the first time on June 24, 2025. To celebrate, we invite you to our opening weekend with free admission and a varied program.

On Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29, 2025, guided tours, walks to archaeologically interesting places in the surrounding area, creative drop-ins and family activities will provide insights behind the scenes of the new house on Spree Island and take you into the exciting world of archaeology and Berlin's previously hidden history.
