The Best Museums In Lyon, France
Lyon is a city of cultural interest with much history, art, literature and gastronomy. Museums are a good starting point to discover the cultural world of the city. Here are our top picks of museums.
1. Musée des Confluences
Museum
The Musée des Confluences, a recent addition to Lyon’s collection of museums, only opened in 2014 after many years of construction. This modern museum, whose architecture is just as mind-boggling as its contents, is both a science center and an anthropology museum. It contains engaging and well-presented exhibitions and displays concerning the questions of natural science, anthropology and earth sciences. Watch out for the 1000-year-old mummy discovered in 2012 at the Pachacamac temple in Peru. Guignol Puppets | ©Tusco/WikiCommons
