Description

  • A Living Archive. Prehistoric paintings and engravings still exist on six of the world’s seven continents.

    With the help of leading archeologists, artists, and indigenous people, the Archive identifies and preserves culturally significant works using sophisticated photography, 3D modeling, and virtual reality technology. We meticulously record each piece in a way that captures its power and beauty.

    The Archive then shares this work, allowing users – who may never be able to visit these far-flung places – to experience that work as if they were standing in front of it, allowing the deep past to move and inspire us across time, and beyond language.

    Because preserving the artwork naturally draws attention to it, the Archive only shares locations of art that has protected access.
