Museum of Prehistory presenting the history of mankind in Europe from the first men to the gates of history.

The Tautavel Prehistory Museum is a complex built around the Tautavel Man. It presents the entire history of mankind in Europe, from the first Europeans to the dawn of history. Tautavel is the site where Europe's oldest human remains were discovered: 560,000 years old. Activities for the whole family are a definite plus when visiting the museum. This archaeological site is one of the richest in the world, and the museum's collection reflects this richness, highlighted by numerous reconstructions. During school vacations in the academic zone, afternoon workshops and fun and cultural activities bring prehistory to life, creating an experience that immerses everyone in our prehistoric ancestors. Throughout the year, the museum offers a cultural program (events, meetings, exhibitions, etc.) that places the visitor's experience at the heart of the action. Detailed program on the museum website. Panels and information sheets in several languages (English, German, Dutch, Spanish and Catalan) make the museum accessible to visitors from all over the world. If some find the museography a little outdated, it's worth noting that a vast restoration campaign has been launched and the new museum will see the light of day in 2028. Let's be patient. The cave - Caune de l'Arago - is currently closed for work, and only excavations are taking place.

Musée qui a un besoin urgent d'être rénové et repensé !
Pas à la hauteur des enjeux passionnants de la préhistoire aujourd'hui ????

Une reprise totale de la scénographie du musée serait grandement bienvenue.
Panneaux délavés, trop d'éléments exposés perdant le visiteurs, inscriptions trop petites, rien pour l'inclusivité (pas de FALC ou de boucles magnétiques par exemple).
La matière est là, reste à faire ressortir le joyaux de sa gangue.
Une seule place PMR pour se garer. C'est vraiment trop peu. Idem pour le stationnement classique.

Beau musée qui vous en apprendra plus sur l'homme de Tautavel mais aussi sur les environs de la région. J'ai regretté qu'il n'y est pas un peu plus d'interaction, énormément de chose à lire ...
