Starting April 29, 2026, the Collège de France unveils the links between scholarly rigor and the collective imagination in a free exhibition. From early Paleolithic masterpieces to pop culture icons, this groundbreaking journey explores how humanity has continually reinvented its roots to better understand its present.

From April 29 to July 19, 2026, the Collège de France invites us on a journey through time with its grand exhibition “Prehistory: between utopia and reality.” Free and open to everyone, this installation pits major archaeological discoveries against the imaginative narratives that have shaped our view of the Stone Age. A face-off between scientific rigor and artistic dreams, to understand what our ancestors reveal about our own humanity.

The Paleolithic has fascinated us since the 19th century, but what do we really know about it? The exhibition lifts the curtain on this "lost world" that has been defined as much by scholars as it has been imagined by artists. Here you’ll discover unique pieces of Paleolithic art or life-size reconstructions of paintings rupestrian paintings by the abbé Breuil, with a route that also reveals the state and progress of research through excavation photographs, evolutionary trees, and television archives.

The exhibition also mines the dialogue between monumental academic art and popular culture to showcase the period’s varied depictions. We move from Paul Jamin’s paintings to Raquel Welch’s iconic silhouette in One Million Years BC, while not forgetting cult references such as The Quest for Fire, Rahan, or even Charlie Chaplin.
