Archaeological research plays a crucial role in museum work, serving as a bridge between the past and the present. One of the main aspects of this connection is authenticity. Archaeological findings provide primary sources that allow for a deeper understanding of history and culture. This is especially important in the context of museums located at the crossroads of cultures or in historically complex regions.

Furthermore, archaeology complements and sometimes corrects the historical narrative. It can reveal untold stories and provide new interpretations of events. This becomes the foundation for educational programs, tours, and exhibitions, such as the "Archaeological Fieldwork in Estonia 2022" exhibition, open from October 6 on the 5th floor of Narva Castle's tower.

This traditional traveling exhibition introduces the general public to the latest archaeological discoveries and research results in Estonia, from the Stone Age to modern times. Along with the exhibition, a selection of new findings from the territories of Narva Fortress and the Town Hall Square is also displayed. This exhibition can be visited with a museum ticket.

More about the significant role of such research in the museum could also be learned during tours with the keeper of the archaeological collection of the Narva Museum, Yaroslavna Nazarova.
