A museum and depository of historical documents regarding the French resistance to Nazi occupation, of which Lyon played a central role.

Centre D'histoire De La Resistance Et De La Deportation is a must visit for anyone interested in the French Resistance or the Deportation of Jews, and WWII. It is a very moving "memorial" to that time of French history. If you don't speak French then you might consider using the audioguide. You might like to spend several hours inside the Museum.

The museum of Fine Arts of Lyon is the largest French museum outside of Paris, in terms of the richness of its collections, and the importance of the bequests received at its creation, in the wake of the Revolution. The ongoing enrichment of the collection and its dynamic artistic program place the museum on the international art scene. The museum is located place des Terreaux, in the heart of the city center, in a former 17th century Benedictine abbey. Its cloister is now home to a quiet garden featuring sculptures by Rodin and Bourdelle, among others. The museum’s encyclopedic collections are exhibited in five sections and seventy galleries presenting artworks from all the major civilizations and artistic schools, from Antiquity to the present day. All year long, the museum offers its visitors an exceptional tour of 5 000 years of art history and organizes major temporary exhibitions, as well as cultural activities engaging all audiences.

A wonderful building, located in a beautiful area of the city. Many great sights around. Interestingly the building originally was a Benedictine convent! The stunning artworks include many masterpieces of great artists, as well as sculptures and other artifacts from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Middle East and elsewhere. This is a must visit sight.

There’s a great deal of history here and it was surprisingly interesting. The first printing presses, the Gutenberg bible, the leaflets that started the Reformation, posters denouncing the clergy during the French Revolution, political posters, Art Nouveau in advertising, etc etc. lots of explanations of printing processes and all in all a fascinating hour. There’s a lovely courtyard in this ancient building and its free if you’ve got your Lyon card and if you haven’t, you should. One word of warning there’s no lift.
