The museum was spacious and easy to move around - staff were helpful in pointing out english guides to help us find our way around. Interestingly, we quite liked some of the videos that they had showing how prehistoric man made their tools. Worth popping in while you are in town. More

When you have covered all floors of the museum and your brain is hurting from all the things that you have seen and learned, walk along the river cut cliff face at the top and ponder how life was all those years ago, while looking down over the village toward the river Vezere below. I would suggest that you give... More

This museum is a must see if you are in the area exploring the caves and pre-historic man. Plan to spend about 2 hours. More

Especially since the museum has a wealth of similar specimens. Passing through at a medium pace and watching videos throughout will be enough to get you thinking in terms of prehistoric man. The museum closes at 6...it's a good way to end the day, as it's not crowded at this time. More

Don't miss this museum, very modern with good display space and very interesting videos which run constantly showing how flints were knapped, reindeer harpoons made and small statuettes were carved. Only in French which is a pity. Lighting is not as good as it could be in places, laminated cards written in English are available to read in the different... More

Great museum,cards in English and a great view of the local rock strata. We had free tickets to go in but would have paid anyway. More

If you are a scholar of early humans this would be Mecca. That said, quite a few items and several of the films are fascinating, but there are many many display cases full of items with not much explanation. Worth the time on a rainy day, but if you have a short visit to the region, I would go elsewhere... More

This is a somewhat difficult musuem but unmatched in it's collections. Rows and rows of flint are not for everyone. However, the videos of prehistoric processes, the film on font de game, and the artwork are all beautiful and accessible. If I had to choose, would visit any of the caves instead of here, but if you have time, just... More

Mrs. Brainiac and I had heard that Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil was well worth a detour during our two-week Dordogne driving tour and that this Museum was a highlight. We had stopped in to see the Lascaux facsimile caves and enjoyed that so we were looking forward to this as well. Ouch and Yikes! This museum is one of the most boring... More
