With 70 rooms, this museum has a gigantic collection. You will find sarcophagi and hieroglyphs next to Roman art and works by Monet, Manet, Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas, Renoir, Rubens, ...
A 'packed' museum that will make your head spin after a while. When you visit this museum, it is best to limit yourself to the highlights if you had anything else planned that day.

Those who do not feel like visiting a museum can visit the beautiful courtyard of the old monastery in which the museum is located: "Jardin du Palais Saint-Pierre" for free. Please note that this courtyard is only accessible during the opening hours of the museum.

The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon impresses with its rich art collection, from antiquity to modern times. The magnificent halls and light-filled courtyard create an elegant atmosphere. The paintings by French masters and the Egyptian antiquities are particularly striking.
The presentation invites a relaxed tour. Art lovers will find both well-known works and surprising treasures here. A visit is worthwhile for anyone who wants to experience history and art in Lyon.
