One of the best museums in Lyon without a doubt! The prices are very affordable (Free for children under 18 and around 9 full price). You will find on the first floor a large space dedicated to Antiquity (Egypt, Greece, Rome ...) then to the Middle Ages (Christian Europe and the Muslim East). After a good hour and a half of visit, you will go up to the second floor to access the gallery of paintings (which have nothing to envy to those of the Louvre).
The little extras: the garden located in the heart of the museum (A happiness in summer!), The accessibility of the site (just in front of the Place des Terreaux) and the presence of lockers to put down your belongings and fully enjoy the visit .
I prefer to warn you: a serious visit is relatively long (several hours) so avoid going there at the end of the afternoon and with small children.
In short: a must-see museum in Lyon, to visit at all costs if passing through!
