LYON MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS

Go there and contact
Museum of Fine Arts with very rich collections in Lyon, one of the most beautiful French museums, to discover.
Occupying a whole section of the Place des Terreaux, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon imposes itself by its size, but also by its contents, since it is - after the Louvre - the second largest collection of artworks in France. But the "grandeur" of this museum is not overwhelming and each visitor can discover its impressive collections at his own pace, especially thanks to the use of digital tablets that allow everyone to discover the works according to his desires. In this superb renovated 17th century building - the Palais Saint-Pierre - it is a journey through time that is offered, from ancient Egypt to modern art through paintings, of course, but also art objects - pottery, earthenware ... - and sculptures. Lyon's painters obviously have a special place. There are many ways to visit the museum, especially with your family and children.

Revoir la billetterie sur le site car ça manque de fluidité et pas tjs évident d arriver du premier coup a ce que l'on veut
It's a good place to go in a rainy day.
