About

Bristol City Council awarded a contract to Lascaux International Exhibition for the hire of a complete touring exhibition package featuring a virtual reality and digital experience of the Lascaux caves in Dordogne.

The exhibition allows visitors to use VR headsets to explore the caves, which have been closed to the public since the 1960s, and view preserved prehistoric art including hunters, deer, bison, and hand outlines.

The contract, valued at £120,000, was intended to raise the profile of Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, generate income, and fill a short-notice gap in its programme.

The supplier offered UK sector exclusivity and a special reduced rate as the sole possible provider.
