Description:

The opening of Lascaux Cave after World War II changed the cave environment. The exhalations of 1,200 visitors per day, presence of light, and changes in air circulation have created a number of problems, leading to closure of the caves in 1963. Various replicas have been made; Lascaux IV is a new copy, that forms part of a new building (opened 2016), the International Centre for Cave Art (Centre International d’Art Parietal). Inside the cave facsimile, the atmosphere is damp and dark. The cave replica was developed through advanced 3D laser scanning; 25 artists spent 2 years hand-painting 900 meters of resin rock reproductions, using the same pigments used 17,000 years ago. The paintings represent primarily large animals, typical local and contemporary fauna that correspond with the fossil record of the Upper Paleolithic time. Over 900 paintings can be identified as animals, and 605 of these have been precisely identified. (Source: Lascaux IV [museum website]; https://www.lascaux. fr/en/)
