The archaeologist and director of the Regional Archaeological Museum of the Community of Madrid, Enrique Baquedano, describes the different transformations of the Altamira cave, from its discovery to the different phases of research and conservation. Controversial issues such as the closure of the original cave or the different interpretations of the cave paintings are also addressed. Considered the Sistine Chapel of Paleolithic art, the conference covers the entire cave from the perspective of the history of archaeology.
