What people are saying about Lyon

Magnificent museums, it is possible to spend a whole day or a few hours there. You will have the choice between temporary or permanent exhibitions, wonderfully well documented, with interaction and a staging of the routes that plunges you directly into the universe of the theme treated. Congratulations to the teams of this museum for your work which appeals to all ages!

I'm so glad I did this! This museum is ideal for families but also for solo travelers who would like to know more about the history of our planet, our evolution, a few ancient civilizations, and our society. The dinosaur fossils were a real treat!

We visited both the temporary and the permanent collections. All well presented and interesting.
