De S Review of DET du Musée des Confluences (...
it's the worst museum I could visit.
it's the worst museum I could visit.
If yours only passion is the modern architecture it deserves the detour you can, without paying the entrance, do the outside, the foyer and the escalators. Otherwise I do not recommend this museum at all.
As for the exhibition, where are the magnificent and rich collections of the old Guimet Museum of Lyon?
Fossils, minerals, insects, animals, mummies ... there are only a few copies left in showcases and in the middle of visiting areas.
To find the name of a species It is necessary to look for the numbered landmarks when there are some, then to find the corresponding plate not often close.
A scenography to make beautiful and refined, no chronology or family classification, vague theme by space, local often poorly lit and no sense of visit.
Great also the large windows like the birds in the dark or a console in the center allows buttons placed next to the name of the species individually illuminate the beast. It is good if you are two in the museum one who presses the button by quoting the species and the other who looks closely.
But the clean of this place and to accommodate the public with also not always watched children who play with the buttons of the blow you go your way.
Videos also not always easy to access because of the world present and then go to a museum to end up watching video so stay at home and watch them quietly in my chair.
I wanted to see the reviews so much I'm disappointed and I was surprised at the number of satisfied ones:
So yes there are local guides who are quick to praise this museum.
To believe that the Lyonnais are seized with chauvinism or try to reassure themselves by paying taxes for this financial pit both at the time of its construction (255million HT almost 5 times the original budget) than its maintenance, annual operating budget 18 million with only 4 million euros of revenue the supplement is offered by the region, sorry our taxes.
Yes again an architecture that is full of sight with a functional surface ridiculous compared to the built surface. I pass on the durability of this building built on piles in an alluvial soil not to mention its future maintenance with all its immense glazed surfaces for exhibition halls without window, canopy or skylights, a height!
Unfortunately, there are still elected officials who have enjoyed their time without thinking of future generations who will have to deal with these burdens.
When will our elected officials understand that we need to build economic, ecological, functional buildings and stop wasting public money by doing architectural competitions?
