Ice Age artworks

There are plenty of art galleries in London, but few that showcase work from 40,000 years ago.

At the British Museum, sculptures, ceramics and drawings are on display from the last Ice Age.

Martin Stew has been to take a look.

The Lion Man of Hohlenstein-Stadel was carved around 40,000 years ago but according to Jill Cook, Senior Curator at the British Museum, it shows how intelligent Ice Age artists could be.

The British Museum has brought together examples of Ice Age art from across Europe for a new exhibition. Some of the exhibits are 40,000 years old and help researchers to understand how humans developed creative ways of thinking.
