The Stone Age in Chicago

'The Cave Paintings of Lascaux'


The famous Lascaux Caves of southern France -- or at least a life-sized replica of them --are now in Chicago. We revisit a preview of the exhibit at the Field Museum on Chicago Tonight at 7:00 pm. Scenes from the Stone Age: The Cave Paintings of Lascaux is on display until September 8, 2013. View a photo gallery of the caves below.
