DET du Musée des Confluences (Debray Ingénierie) Reviews

Very modern museum, interesting on the origins of humanity ... Preferably book online. Easy access thanks to the tram

What a beautiful moment in this museum of confluences! We loved everything about the temporary and permanent exhibitions. you have to go there absolutely! Very practical TRAM T1. Don't forget to go up to the 4th floor to observe the magnificent view of Lyon

Beautiful museum located between Rhone and Saone. Regulieres ephemeral themed exhibitions in addition to all the exhibition halls

Magnificent architecture. High quality permanent and temporary collections. Scenographies that enhance the works

After an interesting workshop visit this museum to various exhibitions which is great with children. Several temporary exhibitions also very different.

Nice museum but the only restaurant open is quite expensive and the food is poor.

Horrible museum both aesthetically and museographically. A concern for the conservation of pieces with visible vibrations of significant amplitude: in the display cases for birds, and the mammoth rib which oscillates dangerously!
The cafeteria is the opposite of welcoming. All construction finishes leave something to be desired: major cracks everywhere.

Crazy building, both from outside and inside. The exhibition is nice and well done but it doesn't leave its mark.
Opens at 11am. Children enter for free.

Museum of Evolution !!! The kids loved the natural history part with the real life animals !!

The new Lyon museum dedicated to civilizations in all their forms. The place not to miss.

Loved this museum, the exhibits are interesting and informative! Would recommend a trip if you are in the area.

Very nice museum with children regarding the permanent collection. Some rooms have little interest. Warm welcome despite the austere interior. Too bad the cafeteria of the 4th is so small. We appreciated the free for children and disabled person.

This is a very new museum which doesn t have a fixed theme which is not really a problem for me. It s not a very big museum and you could cover it in 2-3 hours. Don t forget to go to level 4 to see the awesome view from the rooftop.

An extraordinary museum with exhibitions and very original architecture. Very warm welcome from the staff! A big thank you to them for hosting our group of 40 students!

It's a museum you never tire of! Exhibitions change regularly, but even when they do not change, it's always a pleasure to see them again, and to visit this magical place again!

Aesthetic architecture, exhibitions according to themes

An extraordinary museum. Super well planned in both permanent and temporary exhibitions. Surprising architecture. Obliged to visit in every visit to Lyon.

A rambling journey, very succinct explanations and sententious sentences addressed to the modern man guilty of all the evils of our world. The only ones to have understood everything live in the depths of the forests, covering themselves with a loincloth! In short, this museum is only an anecdotal and decentralized copy of the Guimet Museum, the Quai Branly and the museum of natural stories. Dispensable.

Exceptional place! Modern, beautiful spaces with temporary and permanent exhibitions.
During a trip to lyon it is essential to visit this magnificent place
The price is only 9 for adults free for students and under 18s.

A breathtaking place by the sight and the quality of the exhibitions. A must in Lyon.

We took the reduced ticket from 17h to 6euros and thinking to make a visit of 2h until closing at 19h, error, the museum closes at 18h45! Take a good look at the paper docs provided and remember to validate your ticket to enjoy the parking at 50%, otherwise it stings quickly.

I was able to enter freely for being a student in Europe, it is an amazing place, an architectural marvel that presents the history of humanity

Diversified exhibitions, accessible to all the family. Lets learn about the origin of humanity and the world around us.

it's a great museum and there is always something new. in 2019 we buy a yearly entry pass

So I put 4 stars even though this museum deserves 5 stars because I've never been a big fan of museums but that's just my opinion. The welcome is secure and friendly, there are 4 floors in the museum with a gourmet counter at the top with a nice view of Lyon, Fourviere, the Rhone, the Saone ... The prices are expensive but not too abusive ( 2 The ice cream but the seller who served me made them big, a shortbread or a hot drink). I think if you really want to see everything in detail in ALL the museum it takes 2 days to visit but it is impossible. If not I think a day down would be nice, for lunch, there are bagels at 4 50. To conclude this museum deserves 5 stars, its architecture is incredible and the atmosphere in each room is very immersive (the creation of the earth, prehistory, dinosaurs, the world ... etc). I think it's still something to do if you come to Lyon. I hope I could have enlightened people and enjoy!

Good museum, always good exhibitions, affordable prices and rates according to the status (free student)

I want expecting such a diversity of subjects. It was really interesting and the architecture speaks for itself.

Frankly disappointed 2/3 of the museum, especially the part of "species" or instead of seeing the history of evolution, I believed attending the trial of humanity.

To do if you go through Lyon, always beautiful exhibitions

Modern. Beautiful architecture. Costly but questionable content

Awesome, very good quality exhibition recommended for everyone

Very nice museum always offering interesting exhibitions and well built

Great museum with amazing views from the terrace.
Building is really impressive!

The building is beautiful, the exhibits very interesting

Nice museum easier by public transport. Beautiful footbridge in high glass floor.

Without any interest. Ugly architecture with a view of the highway ... as for the collections, I still did not understand what they presented. I saw Seb and Moulinex robots (and Krups too I think). You might as well go to the nearest Leclerc appliance department, considering that this is a "Ready Made Art" department. And you will save 9 euros for a similar result.

Unmissable in Lyon, the museum of Confluences tells the story of Man and the living. Unprecedented in the world of European museums, it brings together all sciences to better understand the world. Live a unique More

Very good museum, special mentions at the temporary exhibition and at the student rate (free). The building is very well connected, bus and tram.

Museum with magnificent temporary exhibitions. A feast for the eyes

Not at all disappointed with this museum. Very interesting and a lot of exhibitions.
To see with pleasure for young and old.

Building at exorbitant cost, for a very questionable result, a very confined atmosphere, rooms too small, no windows ... Disappointed, despite some interesting exhibitions, but which are more entertainment than the culture itself.

Great
Beautiful animations for adults and children

Beautiful building. Two particularly interesting rooms among the permanent collections. Neighborhood to see on foot or by boat.

I loved, very nice discoveries in an innovative architecture

A museum that is well signposted in this city. The staff is welcoming and caring.

Great place for family! Multiple languages and very Interactive!

Very beautiful building. Interesting exhibition. Accessible to all. Good family time

The architecture is breathtaking. Here someone has really let off steam. The shapes, the appearance of the material and the perspectives that arise - everything feels like the future. The interior is very tidy, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The exhibition itself has very high demands (the four big questions of human existence (who, where, where, why?)) - and unfortunately it has to fail. It is very eclectic in sections shown where life comes from. Time and again, you find interesting examples of what people have done or done. Nevertheless, the questions can not even be answered in the beginning (who is surprised?). For children certainly very exciting. We adults would have wished us a future-oriented exhibition that suited the architecture. Who knows, maybe you work on it ...
A little note: there are no garbage cans, not even in the toilets ... of course this is very futuristic, but unfortunately impractical.

Unique presentation for many special subjects .. we got impressed

FYI, you must have validated, at the counter of the museum, your parking ticket (next to luna Park), the price will be capped at 9 instead of 20 for the afternoon!

Easy access by public transport. Permanent and temporary exhibitions very well highlighted. Fun for adults and children. Very affordable and profitable annual pass from the 3rd visit

A very informative and modern museum with artefacts from all around the world. Children the admission is free while adults pay 9 Euros, but money well spent.

The most beautiful, coolest and largest museum I have ever seen. The building is really just beautiful

Excellent museum with multiple atmospheres. The exhibitions are interesting and the warm welcome.

Very nice museum to visit especially for those who want to know the evolution of the man and his environment. From the first humanoids to modern man.

A fun place with child-friendly exhibitions / workshops

Great Lyon museum. Two exhibitions. The perm at level 2 is a kind of natural history museum. I loved. The current temporary exhibition on level 1 interested me less.


Adult visit for 9 euros without audio guide.
Visit in 2h30.

Very nice museum however drinks and food are very very expensive
