The tour leads you from the oldest hominid footprints, found in Africa and dating from around 3.5 million years ago, to Homo sapiens sapiens, our direct ancestors.
You will find the famous Lucy, the Nariokotome Boy – a 10-year-old child found on the edges of Lake Turkana, reconstructed from a skeleton (the most complete ever found) of a very ancient Prehistoric man who lived around 1.8 million years ago – along with Neanderthal man and Cro-Magnon man.
You will discover the wide range of tools of the archetypal Prehistoric man: tools made from stone, bone, etc., his works, his lifestyle, and the animals he encountered and hunted.
As well as the superb collections of Prehistoric materials, the museum also offers reconstructions and audiovisuals providing a better understanding of the life and work of our ancestors.
