Prehistoric at the beach exhibition

The Prehistoric at the beach exhibition ! presents the relationship of our distant ancestors with the sea. This exhibition includes some local notions but is more global than the Nice region. It is presented at the Terra Amata prehistory museum in Nice.
You can continue your visit with the exhibition Nice, du rivage à la mer = Nice, from the shore to the sea, de l'antiquité à nos jours, at the Musée Massena.

Prehistory at the beach

Early man may have frequented the shores, to find materials useful for building their huts or pebbles from which they drew sharp weapons.

Then, little by little, the beaches provided them with food and elements of adornment, like small shells for example.

The shore became their favorite environment.

It is this set of discoveries, both local and broader, that are presented in the Terra amata prehistory museum's exhibition.
