Went along to this on Tuesday. Absolutely stunning.

Hard to take in to be honest, even as you are staring at the objects. I've since been thinking about the circumstances under which some of these were created, the possible reasons, the kind of life those people led and what those pieces of art meant to them.

Strangely, perhaps, considering the other wonders on offer, my favourite piece was a small fish, made of bone c13,000BC, from Lespugues, France.
But it was all fantastic.

If you're thinking of seeing it, its on until 2nd June and the site says advance tickets are sold out but some may be available on the door. Worth investigating that possibility as its a superb collection.
