Introduction to the Musée des Confluences
Where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet stands one of Lyon’s most iconic cultural landmarks: the Musée des Confluences. Its monumental glass-and-steel structure houses a 3,000 m² permanent exhibition and a constantly changing programme of temporary exhibitions, tracing the grand narrative of the human adventure from its origins to the present day. An endless source of discovery for young and old alike.

Museum
Musée des Confluences
86 quai Perrache - 69002 Lyon 2èmeTo begin with, the museum's architecture is incredible! Made of glass, concrete and stainless steel, it stands erect like a beacon on the headland at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers.
Such a building could only house an exceptional museum, one that encompasses scientific, technical and societal knowledge relating to Earth, humanity, history and geography. In other words, it is a gateway to the world, the universe and knowledge in general. How fascinating is that!
It opens up a whole host of possibilities and promises many a discovery!
This is an essential step in Lyon's cultural landscape. It has lots of surprises in store for us and is an opportunity to travel and grow.
Useful tip
Access to the Museum and its exhibitions is included in the Lyon City Card, which also enables users to beat the queue!
Discovering the permanent collections
The permanent collections of the Musée des Confluences are located on the second floor of the building:
- Room 21: Origins, stories of the World
- Room 22: Species, the Web of life
- Room 23: Societies, human theatre
- Room 24: Eternities, visions of the Beyond
If you are visiting the museum with children, don't miss the dinosaurs and the Choulans mammoth (Room 21), the animals (Room 22) or the Egyptian mummies (Room 24).
Additional information...
In parallel to the museum's permanent itinerary there are temporary exhibitions, important artistic and scientific conferences, world music concerts, thematic weeks and various events.

In April 2026, the museum was awarded the ‘Tourisme et Handicap’ (Tourism and disability) label for visitors with hearing, intellectual and mobility impairments.
