Lascaux International Exhibition
Lascaux exhibition: a new chapter
A new tour starts in 2027.
From 2013 to 2024, the Lascaux exhibition traveled to 20 destinations worldwide. In 2025, for the first time in its history, the exhibition returns with a major innovation: the facsimile of an entire chamber of the cave, the Hall of the Bulls.
A universal heritage
The only traveling exhibition dedicated to a prehistoric cave
Conceived in 2010, the Lascaux exhibition is based on its facsimiles, traveling modular replicas of the cave produced at the Périgord Facsimile Workshop. Beyond the technological achievement of these increasingly precise reproductions, this project has always been driven by a desire to transmit and share this unique heritage of humanity.
Located in Montignac, in France’s Périgord region, Lascaux Cave is a timeless universal masterpiece, a world-renowned prehistoric site inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The new Lascaux exhibition
The Hall of the Bulls
Discover a new immersive experience inside the facsimile of the legendary Hall of the Bulls.
The first chamber of the cave, the first chamber to be discovered, and home to the largest painted work of prehistoric art—often referred to as the “Sistine Chapel of Prehistory”—the Hall of the Bulls embodies the very essence of Lascaux. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful prehistoric painted chambers ever discovered.
The visitor experience
Discover Lascaux through 8 modules
Universal, immersive and interactive, the exhibition is aimed at all visitors, especially young visitors and families.
