Le Thot replica of Lascaux cave painting. The original Lascaux cave was closed to the public in 1963. As well as the full Lascaux II replica, a set of five replica paintings are housed at the Le Thot centre of prehistoric art (Espace Cro-Magnon), which opened in 1972. This is the 'Well Scene' Le Thot replica. The Lascaux cave paintings in south-western France, around 17,000 years old, were painted by Cro-Magnon man, an early European culture of modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens), using red, brown and yellow ochre, and black manganese dioxide. They may have had religious and artistic significance. Photographed in 2010.
