LYON MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS
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.

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Si vous êtes de passage à Lyon, la visite est sympathique.
les oeuvres permanentes valent le détour et des expos temporaires régulières méritent souvent le coup d'oeil (en ce moment, Les modernes mexicains, magnifique)
Avant d'entrer dans le musée, la cour centrale est agréable : fontaine et parterres de fleurs, arches et fresques à parcourir, c'est très agréable.
Le café du musée est également très sympathique : au deuxième étage et accessible sans billet, en intérieur ou extérieur lors des températures douces avec vue sur la cour.
La boutique du musée est fournie et les prix sont corrects.
A noter, la carte musée de la ville de Lyon permet, pour 25€ (janvier 2018), de profiter de 6 musées lyonnais en illimité, y compris les expos temporaires. Elle est également coupe-file : très appréciable lors des périodes de grande affluence (sovuent !)
