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... 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 France's oldest human remains have been found, dating back 560,000 years. 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 a number of spectacular reconstructions. During school vacations in the academic zone, afternoon workshops and fun 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. The cave is currently closed for renovation. Access via a very steep path is impossible for people with reduced mobility and children under 7.

Un museo único en Europa y increíble que vale la pena de visitarlo.....

Sehr interessant, vor allem die Knochen, evtl etwas in die Jahre gekommen (90er)

Beaucoup d'objets (trop) dont certains sont redondants.
Cette exposition mérite un sérieux rafraîchissement à la fois sur le fond et sur la forme.
Certains panneaux font référence à des notions très pointues inaccessibles aux non initiés.

Nous avons été enchanté par notre visite au musée de Tautavel ! Et ce ne sont pas nos ados (17 et 14 ans) qui diront le contraire : ils ont été absolument captivés par leur visite ! Alors oui le musée en lui-même est vieillot (la rénovation est prévue), mais il faut faire la visite guidée, c'est elle qui donne tout son intérêt à ce que l'on voit dans les vitrines : elle est faite par des gens tellement passionnés et passionnant que personne ne s'ennuie, bien au contraire nous voulons en savoir encore plus après. Merci Cyril !

Alors l'accueil vraiment pas terrible, la personne à la billetterie très mal aimable. En revanche, une jeune fille (guide) est passionnante, elle explique vraiment bien s'adapte aux adultes comme aux enfants.
Concernant le musée, ça manque de modernisation... Mais globalement satisfait de la visite... Nous avons visité cette semaine et le village est joli tout comme les alentours.
