Présentation

The museum presents the Neolithic furniture discovered in caves in the Saint-Pons region, including the Resplandy cave. A major site of recent European prehistory, the Camprafaud cave is explicitly detailed (ancient Neolithic to ancient bronze). Showcases with clear explanations, models, videos and documentary film allow a free visit. A large table showing the location of the Saint Ponian and megalithic sites occupies the educational area. The strong point of the museum is the staging of the menhir statues in an original sound and light show.
