Ice Age Art at British Museum

From antler batons to mammoth pendants, a new exhibit in London boasts a mind-blowing display of the world's oldest known sculptures, drawings and portraits, crafted by the hands of Homo sapiens as long as 40,000 years ago. Ice Age Art: The Arrival of the Modern Mind runs from 7 February until 26 May 2013 – but you can take a sneak preview at the following link: - http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2013/jan/24/ice-age-art-british-museum
