Cosquer Cave was discovered in 1985 by diver Henri Cosquer in deep waters off the coast of Marseille.
There are many beautiful caves around the world.
Over the years, the exhibition has given the public an opportunity to explore the cave, of which only 20 percent is currently dry and accessible. Officials say that the remaining dry areas of the cave are under flood due to the effects of climate change.
