The museum is a kind of time machine that opens a lot of details of the existence of man on earth, a special emphasis is placed on the time of the Neanderthals.

The museum building is located near the world-famous landmark - home caveman. The architectural structure is quite original idea: the building is also reminiscent of the cave recessed into a hill, and the glass facade, which reflects the growing front of the wood adds to the feeling of unreality.

The interior of the museum is also used a lot of mirrors, passing through which visitors enter a distant reality in time. Strengthen the feeling lined with concrete and "artificial stone" walls of the museum. On one of the glass walls is projected a film about the daily life of the Neanderthals, but are behind a translucent screen people for the audience unwittingly become part of what is happening in the movie action.

Some of the rooms of the museum are arranged like a maze that lead visitors further and further away from the modern world. As dive change colors, sounds, rhythm and atmosphere, even the form of halls. All this symbolizes the development of the human race.
