What you can expect

Discover one of the greatest treasures of prehistoric art on this visit to the Neocave at the Altamira Museum, an exact replica of the famous Cave of Altamira, a World Heritage Site.

The experience begins with a brief introduction that will let you learn about the history of the discovery of Altamira, the world's first cave known to contain cave paintings, thanks to Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola and his daughter María.

Next, you will watch a short video that recreates life in the time of Altamira, allowing you to imagine how its first inhabitants lived and providing insight into their environment, their customs, and the context in which these impressive artistic expressions emerged.

The highlight of the experience will be the guided tour inside the Neocueva, where you can admire its famous bison paintings up close. During the tour, you will discover how these masterpieces were created thousands of years ago, from the production of pigments to the techniques used by Palaeolithic artists.

After your tour of the Neocueva, you will have free time to explore the museum at your own pace. Its exhibits and explanatory panels will invite you to delve deeper into everything you have learned and to continue exploring the secrets of one of humanity's earliest artistic expressions.

This is an unmissable experience that combines history, emotion, and art, allowing you to connect with the deepest origins of human creativity.
