In celebration of the discovery of the Lascaux cave complex and it's influence today on our knowledge of prehistoric art, the Ministry of Culture and Communications in France has updated the website for Lascaux to include a
three-dimensional virtual tour. Visitors to the website can travel from chamber to chamber in the caves and view close-up, high-definition images of the paintings from almost any angle.
Since the caves were closed to the public (due to moisture and fungal contamination) in 1963, this website is the only chance that many people will have to view the famous cave complex.
