What does this international reference collection, with its 2 million objects, have to say about human fossil remains, figurative art objects, ornamental elements, pebbles and ornamented limestone scales, tools and excavation documents? The questions jostle during the visit of the Abri Pataud, near the shelter of Cro-Magnon and not far from the Lascaux Cave.
The Abri Pataud preserves the traces of 15,000 years of prehistory, of the first Homo sapiens sapiens, called Cro-Magnon men, bearers of new technologies and inventors of figurative art in caves and shelters. Owned by the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, it offers visitors two areas of discovery: the prehistoric site, specially fitted out for the public, and the museum, housed in a rock shelter. Animations for the public make the research work on the collections known.
