The model of a place where megaliths were found refer to the ancient colonisation history of Gambia. The real stone circles have a diameter of four to seven metres. The ancient burial places are said to be nearly three-thousand years old.
Gambia's ideas of the "dwelling of the future" are shown in a model, too. Here, environmentally harmless materials and installations for the generation of solar energy are combined with well-tried, air-conditioning construction styles. Saving energy is a must in Gambia because electricity is very expensive there.
As a country beside a river, Gambia also presents new forms of water management.
