Lascaux Cave Replica Exhibition Comes to Casablanca, Showcasing Prehistoric Art

The exhibition will be installed in a tent on 1,200 square meters in Casablanca. The French Institute of Morocco and the French Embassy in Morocco are working hard to make this a reality. The goal is to ensure that the admission price is affordable so that all Moroccans, regardless of their field of activity, can enjoy it, reports francebleu.fr

Lascaux 3 has been touring the world since 2012. Its first presentation was made at Cap Science in Bordeaux. Since then, it has been criss-crossing the world to become known through ten 37-ton containers. The city of Casablanca in Morocco will be its 15th destination, after Naples in Italy where the exhibition is currently being installed to take place between February and May 2020.

Olivier Retoux, the director of the traveling exhibition, has great ambitions and wishes to create a Lascaux 5 exhibition, richer with the help of new technologies, and certainly less bulky. The Lascaux 5 project is well advanced but the discussions between the State and the department are stalling, indicates the same source.
