Musée des Beaux-arts de Lyon, Médaillier Reviews

Could have spent 5hours there a most marvellous collection

Very concise artefacts France at its BEST COME AND SEE

The most beautiful museum in Lyon! An exceptional collection, a beautiful place!

superb.
I go there every time I visit this beautiful city of Lyon.
my regret is that there is not a museum as "rich" in my city (Marseille).

It's fine, but it does not live up to other international museums.

The room is very spacious and the environment is good, although it is located in the city center, but the room style is nostalgic and elegant. There was some problem with the hot water here, so the hotel gave away the breakfast for free and apologized to me. thank you very much.

Place extremely highlighted for the festival of lights, the tail outside was worth it to finish the evening we were not disappointed fortunately

Quite an interesting collection. The outdoor garden is free and quite nice to rest. The cafeteria staff is very friendly.

Beautiful works
A permanent collection absolutely breathtaking.

Collection rather mediocre for a city of this size.

We visited the temporary Expo on Mexican art and we loved it.

Wonderful paintings and sculptures. As it is not much crowded, one can observe the museum peacefully.

The huge museum. Great collections. Worth a visit if you have a couple of hours to see your favorite artists.

Small peaceful and romantic place in the heart of Lyon 1er

Superb museum especially walls in value by its curator

Great collection of outstanding arts.
** Who know author and title of this painting? **

Very varied and very rich in multiple and exciting exhibitions

One of the best museums that I have been able to visit in France

The most beautiful place in Lyon! (do not miss the sculpture room under any circumstances!)

Beautiful collection. ... and very nice building. .

Eras, cultures, everything is good to take, to see and to review

What a beautiful place. From the courtyard you are swept away by the beauty of the works. Very nice collections and friendly and professional guides.

Sobriety, brevity and pedagogy
Visit during the exhibition on the Roman emperor Claude; Lyonnais by birth. His life was told differently than the gossip of Suetonius or the Christian lies that only added to it.
It is not bloated, but we go to the essential and we discover the hidden face of the one who was a great emperor without knowing it.
The museum is just as beautiful in these places.

Beautiful statues and a beautiful Egyptian collection.

Impossible to visit this Museum without booking on the internet because of the covid
The reception is deplorable, I was told that there were posters all over town indicating that you had to book online, so I had to be aware! Sorry but as tourists I don't look at the posters! And 4G only works intermittently indoors.
I asked for help, but to no avail, not only did they make no effort to help me but they also took care of the people who came after me! Desolating this pretentious youth!

My children enjoyed themselves in a relaxed atmosphere learning things and visiting the beautiful gardens.

One of the most beautiful museums in France. Cloitre in peace

We participated in an hour in the refectory of the discovery activity with eyes open or masked to move barefoot, to touch different materials or soil led by a dancer.

Much larger than expected. Need 3+ hours for relaxed pace viewing of entire museum. Quite a few pieces by famous artists (el Greco, Reubens, etc), but not great examples in my opinion, but I am no artist so I am sure many would disagree

Fine art museum. Full of things like antiquities from Greece, Egypt etc. Easy to get around. There are also plates & past decorative items, coins, old furniture and the odd tapestry to look at. Oh, and paintings and old vases.

Some of the more famous artists paintings upstairs.

Beautiful paintings, but the permanent exhibitions (especially those of the sixteenth) are sad!

A magnificent collection to discover alone or with the family. Lots of events and conferences to deepen. But also the best place in Lyon to escape the heat wave, with a cool cloister and a superb terrace (accessible without a ticket) for a magical break in the greenery in the city center

a pleasant moment in the heart of the museum with a small coffee and a honey cake, specialty of the house, quiet overlooking the courtyard of the museum

Classical museum with a good organization of the rooms and works, one does not get lost. Building and garden very pleasant.

Beautiful museum with different exhibitions all as beautiful as the others

Very beautiful museum of fine arts which is that of Lyon. The building itself is already splendid. The museum is divided into trays. Sculptures, ancient arts, medals and then paintings. An audio guide is available on site for adults and children. You can also download the museum application which also provides an audio guide and also contains favorite routes as well as several descriptions of the works.
I was personally very touched by the sculpture of James Pradier "Odalisque" as well as that of Etex "Cain and his cursed race of God". Adult entry is 8 euros.

A must in Lyon! For me it is the place of cultural passage obliged in Lyon. The entrance garden and his Rodin sculptures set the tone, then we find almost all of the best known painters with a wide variety of styles: Baroque, Renaissance, Impressionism, Romanticism, Surrealism ... Audio guide at 1 and fairly numerous explanatory plastic plates.

A magnificent place to come to and wallow in all the glorious of art and sculpture that you could wish to see. I spent hours here; I should have split my visit into two.

Very nice art museum a little small but worth the detour. Free and pleasant garden to hang out!

Great place to visit. You need the audioguide it's a must.

A beautiful place to discover works of art from around the world and ancient objects of great historical value.

This is a beautiful city the apartment was way too hot the stairs were very awkward to get up and down no air conditioning

Museum 5/5

Online booking system 3/5

Exhibition Henri MATISSE, many portraits of the painter. Interesting and very beautiful.

Varied collections on the provenances and the antiquity of the pieces.
The Egyptology part and the sculptures particularly pleased us

The museum itself is fascinating but its free cloister makes it even more beautiful

Magnificent art gallery with great art and sculpture

Magnificent museum I unfortunately could not visit everything in one morning but a must visit! :)

A haven of peace. Exceptional building at the foot of the red cross, and the fountain of soils finally finished.

Really a very interesting museum !!!! Very nice collection. I really advice him.

A very dynamic museum in its offer to the public with truly competent speakers

Building steeped in history with magnificent architecture. A small garden where it is good to rest. A very beautiful collection of works of all kinds. Nice all the time!

Nice little museum with quiet garden in the city center

The collections on display are excellent.
Very nice building with comfortable internal garden

A must for a room in Lyon! Interesting collection.

Beautiful building and galleries. Right when you enter there isva lovely garden/park where you can seat on the benches and relax. The entrance was 4 euro, but we get in with a student pass. On the basement there is a sculpture exhibition. Absolutely impressed, but the quality and scale of those sculpture. After that the main galleries span on 2 levels in chronological order. It starts with the Egyptian exhibition and it goes all the way to Impresionists like Monet and Degas. There is also a small room with a quite impressive coin collection. It takes about 2 hours to go briefly through all the museum and 3-4 hours if you listen the audio tours as well. The side notes are all in French.

A museum on several levels. Magnificent collections. To discover or rediscover!

It takes time to go around. The biggest setting is oil on the canvas of Renaissance painters, but neither Egyptian nor antique is negligible. It's worth a visit

A most interesting visit and an excellent English-speaking guide
