As so often, same here: Internet research is fine for a rough, or in our case, large-scale information. In this way, with luck and the help of a very nice, dedicated employee of the museum, we "stumbled" into this unique house.
The National Museum of Prehistory is a place of memory of the history of prehistory, a repository of objects, study center and a place of dissemination of knowledge in constant evolution, and since its foundation at the beginning of the 20th century, a reference point for prehistorians and visitors. The museum is located near the most important human art collection, declared UNESCO World Heritage Site. It houses exceptional collections that today allow us to trace more than 400 millennia of human existence.
It has been located since 1911 in the old Château des Eyzies de Taillac, set into the rock above the village. The National Museum of Prehistory is a reference for prehistorians and visitors alike.
It is located in the heart of the Vézère Valley, also known as the Valley of Man, near the largest prehistoric sites that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The museum houses exceptional collections that trace more than 400 millennia of human presence.
