Musée de l'Ours des Cavernes, Cave bear museum in Entremont-le-Vieux, France.
The museum features a reconstructed cave environment with diffused lighting, rocky walls, and interactive exhibits that showcase the prehistoric world of cave bears.
The Balme à Collomb cave in the Granier massif served as a dwelling for cave bears over 28,000 years ago, leading to significant paleontological discoveries.
The museum organizes educational workshops where visitors create objects from soapstone and clay, connecting them with prehistoric crafting techniques.
The facility operates daily from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with extended hours in summer, and offers specialized visits for groups of 15 or more people.
Through virtual reality headsets and animated displays, visitors experience the role of speleologists who discovered the cave and scientists conducting research.
