- Summary:
- The Lascaux Cave discovered in the southwestern part of France (Dordogne), during WWII is a set of decorated caves famous for its Paleolithic art. After 20 years the caves had to be closed to the public in order to preserve the paintings. But today, the 18000-year-old paintings are about to be revealed again as a life-size copy of the entire cave - the largest cave replica ever made- will open to the public in December 2016. See the 3D copy of the cave come to life and watch today's artists reproducing the gestures of the Paleolithic era to grasp what these frescoes meant.
