The 360° virtual reality film, le réveil de l’ours des cavernes (the Awakening of the Cave Bear), is the new mediation device at the Nîmes Museum of Natural History. Installed in the Prehistory room, facing the bear’s skeleton, it brings this prehistoric giant back to life. Equipped with virtual reality headsets, visitors gradually see the room disappear and the bear re-materialize on its skeleton. They are then transported 15,000 years back in time to follow the fascinating daily life of this mythical animal.
