Traveler reviews
N Sherriff
â â â â â a year agoAmazing museum and the highlight of my trip to Lyon - you need at least 3 hours to visit properly and itâs a bargain at only 8 euros - I visited on a Saturday but it was very quiet. Suitable for anyone over the age of 14 I would say. The collections have signs translated into English but the exhibition is only displayed en Francais- highly recommended
Ivy Antunes
â â â â â 3 years agoReally cool museum! I liked both the permanent collection and the special exhibition on jewels. Wide variety of prints, books, and physical objects like presses and lithograph blocks and carving tools. Really cheap tickets, great way to spend a few hours. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful as well, and spoke English.
