EXTRA, the marketplace for scientific touring exhibitions.
Illustrated with colourful graphics, the exhibition establishes a dialogue between the reality of scientific facts and the image of Neanderthals conveyed by various representations, particularly in art.
PART 1 : A NEANDERTHAL DAY
How did Neanderthals live? Through immersive scenography and the reconstitution of a scale 1 archaeological site, their daily life is demonstrated and interpreted for a comprehension of the major aspects of their culture and their relationship to their surroundings.
PART 2 : A NEANDERTHAL LIFE
The exhibition decodes Neanderthal morphology and attests to their cultural practices: funeral rites, cannibalism, or even artistic expression.
PART 3 : A NEANDERTHAL TIME
To what degree did Neanderthals and Homo sapiens interbreed? What caused their extinction? Audiovisual installations seek to answer these questions and present several scientific theories.
