The Terra Amata museum preserves, at the very location of the site, the remains left by the Homo erectus of Nice, 400,000 years ago.
The site reopened after five months of work and complete closure to the public, unveiling its new appearance.
The new museography of the permanent exhibition galleries—incorporating the latest results of scientific research—allows for a rediscovery of the site. Around the large casting of one of the site’s floors, there are new museographic devices as well as a renewed presentation of the collections.
An original creation, whose scenography was designed by Kristof Everart—a visual artist from the Villa Arson, Nice—to be both playful, elegant, and resolutely contemporary.
Note that the museum is unveiling, for the first time, the private collection of Henry de Lumley, and more precisely works by Raymond Moretti tracing their friendly collaboration.*
