PREHISTORIC MUSEUM, AVEN ORGNAC

For this project, we designed the interior scenography of a museum located in the south of France, near prehistoric caves. The museum’s theme focused on prehistoric history, archaeology, and the narratives associated with that period.

We chose to develop the design based on the organic forms of prehistoric caves in order to create an immersive experience. The concept integrated information and texts into a dynamic information design system, combining visual content with written elements.

This fluid approach was implemented throughout the museum spaces as well as within the display cases, creating a coherent environment.
