Musée des Confluences Tickets
The Musée des Confluences stands at the meeting point of Lyon's Rhône and Saône rivers, where its striking angular architecture makes it impossible to miss. This science and anthropology museum houses an extraordinary collection spanning natural history, world cultures, and human civilisation, all within a building that's an artwork in itself.
Inside, you'll discover Egyptian mummies, a 155-million-year-old dinosaur skeleton, and fossils that tell the story of life on Earth. The museum's unique approach connects palaeontology with ethnography, mineralogy with modern technology, creating conversations between disciplines. Interactive displays and multimedia installations help bring these connections to life, making complex topics accessible to visitors of all ages.
