Musée de Préhistoire

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:03:47

Twenty-seven kilometres northwest of Perpignan along the D117, the cave-riddled cliffs above Tautavel have yielded a host of prehistoric finds – most notably a human skull, estimated to be 450,000 years old, making it one of the oldest such discoveries in Europe. This museum delves into the area’s prehistoric past, with a full-size reproduction of the cave, displays of fossilised bones and tools and various other exhibits.
