Sybille Whitehill – Ausstellung „Archäologie im Spiel“
Vom 17. April bis 18. Oktober 2009 findet im Archäologischen Museum in Bad Fallingbostel/ Niedersachsen eine Sonderausstellung zu dem Thema „Archäologie im Spiel“ statt. 26 Brett- und Kartenspiele, hauptsächlich aus Deutschland, aber auch aus den USA und Australien, werden ausgestellt und mit Begleittexten versehen. Ihnen allen ist gemeinsam, dass die Spieler die Rolle von Archäologen bzw. Forschern übernehmen.
Die Spiele stammen allesamt aus der Sammlung von Sybille Whitehill, die im Landkreis Soltau-Fallingbostel lebt; sie hat auch in Zusammenarbeit mit Frau Dr. Sattler-Kosinowski vom Vorstand des Museums die Ausstellung konzipiert und aufgebaut.
Die Ausstellung wird am Freitag, den 17.04.2009, in Anwesenheit von Vertretern der regionalen Politik und Presse eröffnet. Sybille Whitehill wird einen einführenden Vortrag halten.
Das Museum ist jeweils Do., 15-18 Uhr, und So., 10-12 Uhr, geöffnet.
Etwa einmal im Monat können ausgewählte Spiele zum Thema auch im Museum gespielt werden; der erste dieser Termine ist am So., 19.04.09, von 10-12 Uhr, u.a. in Anwesenheit des Ehepaares Whitehill.
