Portraits of Lyon
This exhibition gives visitors the key pointers for understanding the modern city. An overview of Lyon's history that combines historical and geographical data, symbolic and collector's items, fictitious testimonials, films and interactive models.
Power, commitment and citizenship
Discover what makes Lyon's political history unique, through the places and representatives of institutional powers, but also with portraits of Lyonnais mobilized in social and civic struggles, from the medieval city to The city.
The Gadagne gardens
Located on the 4th floor, the hanging Gadagne gardens are a lovely place for a stroll or a rest. Sit down on a deckchair, close your eyes and listen to the lulling whisper of the water flowing through the cool 17th century caves.
