Whatever the answer, you absolutely must take part in the Fête de la Préhistoire, organized this weekend of January 27 and 28, 2024, in the heart of the museum. For two days, a wide range of activities are on offer, free of charge if you have an admission ticket, for young and old alike, to help you learn more about this fascinating period in history, while having fun at the same time!

Shows, games, encounters, tours, art workshops, storytelling, screenings: all weekend long, special fun activities are organized.
