From the Lyon World / Places
Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon
An encyclopedic museum in a former abbey, with major painting, sculpture, antiquities and decorative-arts collections spread across more than seventy rooms.
Why go
This is Lyon's strongest choice for a substantial indoor art visit. Collections span roughly five millennia, so you can build a focused route around Egyptian and Greco-Roman works, European painting, sculpture or coins instead of trying to cover everything. The cloister garden adds a calm architectural pause.
What to look for
Egyptian and Greco-Roman antiquities
European paintings from Poussin to Monet
The former abbey cloister and sculpture garden
