About Lascaux

The Team Behind Lascaux International Exhibition

The Lascaux tour is not only a technical, scientific or museographic operation. It is also a human adventure, carried out by a team of professionals who share the same ultimate objective, that of introducing Lascaux to all the children of the world.

The Lascaux International Exhibition is managed by the SPL “Lascaux International Exhibition”. It’s a production of the Dordogne Departmental Council, with the support of Semitour Périgord, the French Ministry of Culture, the European Union and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region.

The project also benefited from the support of a committee composed of members of the Scientific Council of the Lascaux Cave.
