Introduction
Lascaux IV, the latest addition to Centre International de l’Art Pariétal in the French town of Montignac, welcomes visitors to an immersive educational experience of the prehistoric Lascaux cave paintings. Known by archaeologists as the “Sistine Chapel of Prehistory” due to their spiritual and historical significance, the 20 000-year-old paintings are among the finest known examples of art from the Paleolithic period.
Created as a holistic museum and educational experience, Lascaux IV features state-of-the-art experiential storytelling technology paired with a facsimile of the original caves. Visitors are invited to discover the caves in a way that reveals a sense of wonder and mystery – as if they, too, were the first group of adventurers to stumble upon the cave paintings.
