In the exhibition, as well as introducing the full scope of the mysteries surrounding the Lascaux Caves, the artistic sculptures and various tools the Cro-Magnons used will be placed on display, leading the visitors on a tour to learn about humankind’s wealth of creativity and the dawning of art 20,000 years ago.
