Time of Stone

Serlachius Museum Gösta, Mänttä, Finland, 13 October 2018 – 14 April 2019

When we talk about stone, a time span of hundreds or even thousands of years feels like nothing at all. The oldest materials of the exhibition Time of Stone, granite, gabbro and diorite, can be 1 800–1 900 million years old. The exhibition tells the common history of mankind and stone which starts much later. The oldest stone object shown at the exhibition was made in Egypt more than 2 000 years ago and the newest ones in 21st century Finland.
