SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The museum said the painting by the late Charles Knight, which measures 12-feet wide by 8-feet high, is now on view to the public for the first time in decades.

"Flint Workers" is one of a series of nine murals painted for the Hall of the Age of Man, which opened at the museum in the early 1920s and closed to the public in 1966.

The Neanderthal painting, completed in 1926, was one of the first attempts to depict early human ancestors in a realistic setting, the museum said.
