In this visit area dedicated to the relationship between cave art and 20th century art, the walls and ceilings are covered with screens that display the works, and digital tracks allow visitors to understand and follow these relationships and to organize their own “mini-exhibitions”. The entire installation works in interaction with the visitor’s mobile visit companion, for a resolutely immersive and personalized experience.
The Montignac-Lascaux International Centre of Parietal Art, more commonly known as Lascaux 4, will open its doors in less than a year, in June 2016. This future equipment will be centred on the complete reproduction of the Lascaux cave and on the use of new image and virtual technologies for mediation. Beyond this emblematic place, it will be the tourist and cultural equipment of reference for the development and popularization of parietal art based on the painted and engraved representations located in the Lascaux cave.
