Musée de l’Aurignacien
Aurignac | 31
Housed in a modern building that was inaugurated in April, 2015 this museum invites all Prehistory fans and the culturally curious from every realm to come and meet the Aurignac Natives, the first anatomically modern men who lived in Europe around 35,000 years ago.
Vestiges from the life these people led – hunting weapons, everyday objects, bits of ornaments, statuettes, found at Aurignac as well as other prehistoric sites are the common link that make up the core of this newly renovated museum.
Through multimedia material, temporary exhibitions, demonstrations aimed at all ages, as well as organised discussions and debates, the museum aims to shed light on the prehistoric world and challenge our understanding of the origins of man.
