    Musée des Confluences seems to have descended from space. The futuristic glass and steel construction is located at the southernmost tip of the city. Where the Rhône and Saône meet. In French such a meeting is called 'Confluence', which is the name of the museum.
    It was designed by the Austrian architectural firm Coop Himmelb(I)bau.
    Interesting exhibitions about science and anthropology can be seen on 3000 m2. There are often beautiful temporary exhibitions.
    Also take a walk through the park, all the way to the end to see the rivers flowing together.

    Located at the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône, the building designed by the Austrian agency CoopHimmelb(l)au is articulated with an exceptional architecture. The museum has a legacy of more than 2 million objects from half a millennium, from the 17th to the 21st century. museedesconfluences.fr
    Do not hesitate to go around and continue along the quay to the Rhône-Saône confluence, which is worth the detour!
