To tell the truth, we came for a cultural event, so can't address the actual museum. But the setting - at the confluence of the Rhone and Saône Rivers - is spectacular, and the architecture dramatic. You can get here by the modern tramway from...More

Unusual architecture for an unusual museum. Exhibits were not as focused as I am used to in American museums, but I found interesting things in every room even when I wasn't sure what tied one room to the other.

Here on a dreary , wet and dull day but this museum succeeded in cheering me up! It has a rapidly changing exhibition space which is spread out over three floors. The exhibition spaces are divided into huge rooms, beautifully arranged and brilliantly lit with...More

This one was top of my list and I was not disappointed. I even downloaded their app which sadly is not that easy to use. My daughter and I visited the permanent exhibitions. I particularly loved the origins section, from the first human beings, the...More

Definitely do not go on a weekend! So crowded there were lines for every exhibit. The small restaurant was fully booked so we were forced to eat in the tiny cafeteria where you heat your own food in a microwave and it was so tiny...More

Spectacular modern building at the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône with a great view from the upper floors. Three current (Nov 2018) exhibitions are very interesting especially the Pratt and the Kalabash. The permanent exhibits explore the relationship of man and nature. Lots...More

When you plan to visit the museum during weekend or a high-season it's good to book your tickets online - it will save you time waiting in the queue. Inside the permanent and temporary exhibitions will be interesting for both adults and children. A great...More
