Between the 5th and 3rd millennium BC, Western Europe was the scene of a strong production and circulation of objects (necklace beads, bracelets, axes…) made of stones of an intense green colour, such as variscite or jadeite. From their sources of origin – located in different parts of the Iberian Peninsula (Barcelona, Huelva, Zamora…) and Europe (Italian Alps) – these objects travelled by land and sea over hundreds or even thousands of kilometres. In this conference, we will explore the manufacturing contexts of these pieces and how they spread to reach human groups in different parts of the Iberian Peninsula and Europe. We will also discuss the possible reasons why these greenstone objects were so appreciated by the Neolithic communities of our continent.
Round table. Aware of the need to vindicate the role of women as active agents in history, the Feminist Research Institute of the UCM, in collaboration with the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities, presents a Gender Itinerary on women in Ancient Greece, which deals with the construction of female identity, their spaces, gestures and tasks and the models of behaviour assigned to them. This reading is part of the project External link, opens in new windowItineraries for WomenExternal link, opens in new window External link promoted by the MECD and the Institute for Feminist Research to recover the memory of women in museums.
International Museum Day. Museums for equality: diversity and inclusion.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and, endowed with reason and conscience, should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948)
Human beings are equal but also very diverse: different backgrounds, ethnicity, gender, language, beliefs, culture… It seems that this diversity has often separated and set us against each other instead of being a source of richness and mutual understanding.
The pieces in the Museum are an expression of different eras and cultures. We invite you to discover in these videos some aspects related to diversity in some of them. History can thus be a starting point for reflecting on these same issues in our present.

From archaic times in Greece, we have news that women participated in the Dionysian cults organised by the polis, in menadic rites and in mystical cults. The activity “With strips and madly: maenads and bacchantes on the run” aims to approach this reality from different perspectives and to show, through texts and iconography, the rites in which women took part, the functions they performed as worshippers and priestesses, the clothes, adornments and attributes that identified them as followers of Dionysus, the setting of the rites and the state of enthusiasm and delirium that the bacchantes reached in some cases.
