Society has progressively developed since the Stone Age, but the ancient period had laid the foundation of human civilisation. In order to acquaint the present generation with this Age, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS) will be conducting a workshop on stone tools from the historic age. The children’s workshop will allow participants to explore the Stone Age beyond the realms of being just an informative session. Vaidehi Savnal, assistant curator–international relations and in-charge education, CSMVS, tells us, “The museum has a huge collection of these Stone Age tools, from the Palaeolithic period to Neolithic period,  which is known as the age of Early Man. These tools were used by them to hunt, cook, and perform other activities. They characterised how society was 
back then.”
