Flexible LinkThe caves of Lascaux
The architecture of the International Center is an integral part of the visitor's experience: the semi-buried building, built at the foot of the Lascaux hill, is fits perfectly into the local landscape. Its gigantic glass facade welcomes the public and invites them to let themselves be guided into a universe resolutely focused on technological prowess.
First of all, by its shape: no wall is straight, a tangle of rooms with atypical shapes takes the public into the heart of this 8,000 m2 building. A fault crossing its entire length suggests a cut in the hill or a prehistoric stratum reminiscent of the passing of time...
The different spaces invite visitors throughout their journey to live an immersive and personalized experience.
Get ready to live the Lascaux experience! The mediators will accompany you from the reception of the site to the cave reproduced in its entirety. You will then be able to discover with them the Atelier de Lascaux in which you will come back to certain striking details of the cave paintings and in particular of the famous Scène du Puits where you will be able to admire the unique human reproduction of the Sistine Chapel of Prehistory!
