Set within the national domain of the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the National Archaeological Museum stands as one of France’s most important cultural landmarks. Here, across dimly lit galleries, the story of humanity unfolds. From exquisitely carved prehistoric art to the tools, weapons, and sacred symbols of early societies, each artifact offers a glimpse into the distant lives of early people. Among the most important pieces is a small yet profound masterpiece—the “Mona Lisa of Prehistory,” the earliest known depiction of a human face. Join archaeologist Terry Madenholm on a journey into the past to uncover some of humanity’s earliest and most unique creations.
