In the early years of the 20th century, scientists, intellectuals and artists set out in search of the origins of mankind. A fascinating adventure that led them to discover the artistic universe of the first humans.

Prehistoric art, and more specifically cave and parietal art, fascinated an entire society. Paintings from caves all over the world are revealed. They are bursting into the most prestigious museums of modern and contemporary art, thanks in particular to surveys.

These paintings are masterpieces in their own right! Produced as part of expeditions by ethnologists and prehistorians, they reflect the state of a wall and a figuration at a given moment.

The Musee de l’Homme is an outstanding museum about humankind. It is thoroughly modern and integrates technology better than any museum I have ever seen. It tells the story of humankind through the lens of current science, DNA, and what binds us all together. Outstanding!

At Grévin Wax Museum you’ll meet world-famous celebrities and fascinating figures. George Clooney and Franz Kafka, or Angelina Jolie, and the alchemy-loving emperor, Rudolf II and his many potions. The museum also has some surprisingly hands-on exhibits. Kids will love the Discovery Tour where they can see how a wax figure is created. Touch wax and resin and see the fake ears and eyes that help bring a statue to life.
