The museum is based around two main areas; the New Altamira Cave and the galleries dedicated to "The Times of Altamira". In the former visitors can see how the cave looked 15,000 years ago, including the reconstruction of a Palaeolithic camp, an archaeological dig, the artist's workshop, a bear pit, and of course, the Chamber of the Paintings. The galleries hold a large attractive exhibition about everyday life and art in the Upper Palaeolithic, the times of Altamira.
