Integrated into the permanent regional prehistory display, which presents over 1 million years of human evolution and local biodiversity, and which was renovated in 2022.

The aim of this exhibition is to highlight the geological, environmental and ecological dynamism of our territory up to the present day.
During the Quaternary era, in the area between Cap Martin and Cap Mortola, fossilized human populations were able to evolve and adapt to the various transformations caused by seismic movements and climatic phases.
Far from the rather static and romantic vision of the 19th century, today our coastline is being turned upside down by transformations no longer due to natural changes, but to human intervention, thus entering a new era, the Anthropocene. This new period is already leaving irreversible traces on our territory.
Will we turn the corner and take action before it's too late?...
