    ★★★★★3 months ago

    Went there expecting to pay but got free entrance surprisingly ! It's a very educative place to learn more about the origins of Lyon and its rich roman heritage. We get to see reel pieces of roman ruins describing the importance of the city back in that time. The museum architecute itself is a real wonderful piece of engineering and is worth a detour if you have interest in architecture.

    This museum was simply the best surprise of our stay in Lyon. The curating and organization were well done, and the way each piece is displayed is incredible. We loved the experience the museum offered!
