The Wonders of Rock Art: Lascaux and Africa

 In a first for Africa, the Sci-Bono Discovery Centre in Johannesburg, in collaboration with the Embassy of France in Pretoria and the French Institute of South Africa (IFAS), is bringing a replica of the world-famous Lascaux cave paintings and the cave itself to South Africa.

An exact reproduction of more than 2 000 figures painted on the walls of the caves in Dordogne, southwestern France, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage with humanity's earliest impulse for creative expression.
And in dialogue with the Lascaux paintings will be "The Dawn of Art", the African room of the exhibition that will include photographs of iconic South African rock art, as well as a display of priceless authentic pieces.
