Center of the Man of Spy
Striking face-to-face with Spyrou, the Man of Spy
Since 2011, a space dedicated to the Man of Spy is open in Onoz, not far from the Cave of Spy.
His career draws the portrait of the Neanderthal man, our distant cousin formerly portrayed as a bestial and violent being, now rehabilitated. Thanks to finely chosen pieces, the emotion is very much direct. In high point: the striking face-to-face with Spyrou, the Man of Spy reconstituted hyper-realistically.
From room to room, it is also the evolution of a discipline that can be guessed, from its groping beginnings (19th century) to the extreme minutia of current methods of analysis.
Groups

Throughout the year, the Center of the Man of Spy offers various forms of activities and tours for school groups, from the 2nd kindergarten!

Participate with the animators of the Prehistoric Museum of Ramioul in a series of didactic workshops on Prehistory and Neanderthals.
