Musée des Beaux-arts de Lyon, Médaillier Reviews

Beautiful palace and good collection of paintings and sculptures, many Rodin.

Large, quality collection. Well layout. Concise audio. Worth the trip.

perfect for those days that are too hot or too cold, special mention to the rooms of medieval art!

Magic place in Lyon. A magnificent building, a collection of very interesting collections. Spend some time in the gardens, a haven of peace in the heart of Lyon.

Awesome !!! Too much things to see is worth the trip ;-)

Very good collection, especially that of French painting.

A must in the city of Lyon, a magnificent museum both for its building and its collection. And which in addition regularly offers, among other activities, very interesting guided group tours (including a visit to the masterpieces for 1h30).
If you don't have time to visit the museum, at least take the time to walk around the courtyard, a little corner of peace in the center of Lyon.

In the middle of the city and very nice gallery with paintings and art spanning many centuries. From Ancient Egyptian to the most contemporary.
Set out on three floors it can be explored relatively rapidly or more slowly depending on the amount of time one has.
An audio tour is also available. The pretty courtyard at the entrance is a nice place to relax.

The entrance fee was 12 euros, so I thought it was a bit expensive. The first and second floors were difficult to understand, but I was very happy to see that they were good at coming to the grandeur at the moment of viewing the third and fourth floors. A must-visit place in Lyon. Thumb up

Very frequent visitor of this place which has a crazy charm.

Sometimes the lighting is poor.
Some windows are inaccessible to the curiosity of children.
But overall a museum that has a soul.

The staff is often playful and friendly (he remains a bit sour).

A special favorite for the quality of the vast collection of paintings of the Middle Ages.

Superb building with a beautiful inner courtyard containing real treasures!

Beautiful collection of works of art. Beautiful building. Indoor garden with free access, an oasis of calm and freshness in the heart of the city.

Between the architecture and the works on display a wonder in each room.

Los Modernos (temporary exhibition): Only 3 Frida Kahlo paintings and rather haphazard curating although linked to genuine Franco-Mexican influences and exchanges of the first half of the 20C. But still good.

This museum is very informative and full of works of art

A very interesting place. You can spend hours wandering the rooms, and if I recall, it used to be a convent so you have the history of the building too, not just its contents. Worth a visit, to say the least.

Amazing displays, take a day to appreciate it properly.

Each time a pleasure to discover and rediscover ....

It is a well organized museum, interesting to visit, which may not require too much effort but where you can also spend a whole day. It depends on the time available and the interest that everyone cultivates. Beautiful collection of statues, inlaid works in wood and ivory, some notable pieces also on an international scene. Sections decently explained, even with the not superfluous help of audio guides. Having a few days in Lyon, definitely worth it.

Not bad way to spend a couple hours strolling around but France has many more impressive collections of fine art. If you have time in Lyon it's worth a visit but I preferred the Museum of Communication & Contemporary Art.

A beautiful museum, well laid out. And treasures that are worth spending time.

Beautiful place. My 6 year old daughter enjoyed the sculptures and paintings

Surprisingly large museum full of works ranging from Egypt to the 20th century
It is little publicized but it is worth the visit

Amazing place and stunning collection of art! However, the audioguide in English works for just a few objects. Staff helpful and friendly.

quality exhibitions, with a fairly good organization, unconvincing prices for students

As a Lyoner, I go back often, always fascinated by what is in this museum, which we call the palace St Pierre.
The free inner courtyard is absolutely charming. We like to come and eat his sandwich in the company of the magnificent statues.

I really liked the room with the sculptures, you can walk around.
No student rate but a youth rate. We have enough to take care of for a couple of hours, if we want to see everything. It lacks a common thread in my opinion but the visit was completely satisfactory!

Thought it was a small museum didn t worth the price at the beginning but it was huge inside, always more to see. Worth awhile

An interesting museum where sculptures, antiques and paintings coexist.
The inner courtyard is peaceful and allows you to relax.

Superb place, pretty garden, beautiful library and beautiful exhibitions

Very nice museum overlooking the Place des Terreaux. Deserves to be visited. Beautiful discoveries in perspective.

Very nice museum. Good guide for children. To discover Lyon.

I went there as part of museum night. Amazing how huge and beautiful this museum is. Impossible to go around the collections at once, but I had little time in front of me: to do it again! You should know that the 1st floor looks more like a museum of civilizations than a museum of fine arts. It is very interesting anyway!

Museum overlooking the square. Old abbey with a small cloister. Beautiful works: sculptures, objects and paintings ranging from Ancient Egypt through the Impressionists to the 20th century. Museum worth a look. We find Monet, Manet, Degas, Picasso ....

A good museum in the city center. Convenient to get there - next to the metro. The museum has an inner courtyard. The museum has a collection of scrolls - sculptures, an Egyptian section with sarcophagi and the head of a mummy. There is a large picture gallery of paintings of different ages and countries. Presented household items of different epochs of France and Italy. Separate hall with ancient coins of different epochs. From Rome and Byzantium to the last kings of France and the Republic.

The outside courtyard is great. Very comfortable. The collection is also very rich.

Magnificent convent, beautiful facilities and a smart guide

The objects are well staged; the place is very beautiful.

Beautiful place of art and history with art classes of very high quality and high level

The museum is very big. You could easily spend the whole day there.

Nice museum with a very nice courtyard. On the other hand, the man at the entrance who took care of the changing rooms today, not at all friendly. Was he a box bouncer in another life?

With its inner garden in the city center, really to see.

This museum presents fabrics.
Most are made of silk. This material was an economic engine of the industrial development of the region. From spinning to weaving which has given rise to the rise and birth of many industries, notably that of chemistry.
Let us recall that the textile industry was in 1980 the third French industry by the number of these jobs and these exports.

I loved visiting this museum, the setting is beautiful.I will return because not had time to see everything.

In addition to having an enviable classic art collection, it has an exquisite modern art room where you can appreciate a contemporary art form. Additionally, I would highlight the museum's souvenir shop, they have for sale posters and calendars of several renowned artists, ideal to take a piece of art to your home without the need to spend a lot of money. Finally, if for some reason you cannot enter the museum, I recommend you go to visit the entrance garden where you can enjoy a must-see French architecture.

Very nice exhibition on Claude Emperor. Beautiful museum

Very nice permanent collection.
Superb temporary exhibition "Matisse"

the commented thematic visit experience at 3 is very pleasant

A beautiful museum that exhibits works dating from civilization

One of the most beautiful places in Lyon, from the gardens to the exhibitions you will take full the mirettes

Great exhibition, even more fun place for little ones who can do drawing courses

It is a calm and peaceful place. The exhibitions are varied.
