    Series of lectures on the theme of the exhibition " Prehistory : between utopia and reality ".

    From April 29 to July 19, 2026, the Collège de France's major exhibition "Préhistoire: entre utopie et réalité" (Prehistory: between utopia and reality) invites us to a disturbing face-to-face encounter with our most distant ancestors, between what we know about them... and what it says about us.
