In the Lola exhibition at Stiftsmuseet in Maribo, the Stone Age girl Lola takes you back to the time she lived, around 5,700 years ago. The exhibition design first presents the construction site of the Fehmarn tunnel project, where the archaeological discoveries were made, before leading visitors into a Stone Age universe displaying the various finds and telling the story of Lola’s world and the following 500 years of history. The exhibition gives insight into the transition from the last hunter-gatherers to the first farmers on the south coast of Lolland.

A small piece of birch pitch with a remarkable story. What makes this find unique is that, for the first time ever, researchers extracted a complete human DNA profile from something other than bones or teeth. This has brought us incredibly close to one of the people of the Stone Age: a young girl named Lola, who lived on the south coast of Lolland around 5,700 years ago.

Museum Lolland-Falster also houses an impressive collection of medieval crucifixes. Get close to these fascinating works and learn more about medieval faith in the exhibition “OMG”. The crucifixes are highly dramatic and depict the suffering Christ on the cross.
