Quench your thirst for knowledge with 9,000 years of History

A Journey Through 9,000 Years of History

Step into The Bridge Collection, an archaeological museum boasting over 2,000 artifacts spanning an incredible 9,000 years of history. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of world history, all woven through the fascinating ritual of drinking.

On display, you'll find artifacts that narrate tales of gods, warriors, queens, and emperors. Some witnessed pivotal battles, while others adorned themselves with precious metals that shimmer with changing hues. Some date back to an era before the written word, while others illuminate the darkness.

Explore the rituals and customs of civilizations, from antiquity to the modern day. The artifacts on display are not just objects; they are a reflection of entire civilizations, the diverse peoples who inhabited them, and the individuals who, at one point in their lives, made history a moment worth toasting.
