This is a very modern building with unusual architectural features. Inside there are temporary and permanent exhibitions of various kinds as well as views over the confluence of the Rhone and the Saone. We visited on a public holiday and it was very crowded with...More

I usually avoid natural history museums because they are such a snooze: a bunch of bones, a few dioramas, a lot of Latin names on tags. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Therefore, we thought we would just have a look at the outside of the spectacular-looking new spaceship-like building...More

I was very ho-hum about visiting another European museum, but this one really blew me away. Of course the exterior is spectacular, but the way the exhibitions are visually presented was so interesting. When we entered the museum, a very helpful young man approached us...More

One of the best museums I have visited. The layout of the rooms has a contemporary feel, you are not overwhelmed by artefacts. Most areas are documented in both French and English which is helpful for many visitors. The building is spectacular from the outside
