Amazing place to visit. They have lots of things to view and the concept of having everything mixed up makes it totally un-boring. Usually three rooms have temporary exhibitions so you can go back from time to time. In the outside you have the real "confluence" of the two rivers that cross the whole town. Definitely a place to visit.

This museum is wonderful! Though we weren't able to see all of it what we saw was excellent. They have very interesting exhibit set ups that provide a nice change from standard museums and there were lots of interactive components. This was especially interesting in the natural history section which is usually just a collection of taxidermy animals. They had information about endangered and extinct animals and a lot of the animals set up by classification in an educational way. Also the building itself is fascinating. It would definitely be a good museum for families.

Superb permanent anthropological exhibition, plenty to see, study and learn on all aspects of human and animal existence. Also saw temporary exhibition Antarctica which was very busy but wonderful videos of penguins etc.

Very good museum, only €5 for under 25s too! Contemporary art/exhibitions but also very science/nature elements too. This museum has everything plus the architecture is unique and it's not too far from the centre of town the the tram (T1). Overall, a must visit in Lyon.

Exhibitions with so much love to details. Very comprehensive and well done. Can only recommend the visit.

Beautiful building by Austrian design. Free for students under 26. Lots of expositions to see. Can get cold so bring a jacket!

Over the top designed building, already showing traces of age after only three years, very basic practical errors, such as the fact that people have to queue in the rain at the main entrance because everyone has to go thru a security check, whereas there is an unsignalled other entrance on the other side of the building that has ample exterior covered space. Big emphasis was put on the museography's aesthetics, but not on the visitors experience: one example is putting screens on a wall with a bench opposite, but then having the main flow of people walking between the bench and the screen.

Beautiful building and some very interesting exhibitions. Worth a visit even if you don't go inside. I found the temporary installations more interesting than the permanent ones so your mileage may vary. The current Antarctica one was a sensory feast. Recommended.

An average place to visit. There were many different exhibitions over here, and they change exhibitions once in a while. Make sure to check out what kind of exhibition are they showcasing before visiting this place. The entry is free for students.

One of my favorite museums I have ever visited. Love to detail for the exhibitions. Venonenom is a current exhibition that shows the combination of human computer interaction, facts and the environment of a museum. Nice views, also good for sunsets. The architecture of the building is very impressive.

A brand new museum with both interesting permanent and temporary collections. There is a nice view on the city and the rivers from the terrace. The price is fair as well.

A bit of everything. The current exhibition on the Lumiere brothers was in-depth and very interesting visually. Permanent exhibition is a mini Natural History museum but again well laid and explanation in French and English. There's a cafe on the fourth floor and the view of Lyon is worth a visit. Staff were polite and helpful in suggesting a wheelchair for my 86 year old mum which we return to the cloakroom on our way out. Easy access by tram.

Great building right at the confluence of the two rivers (hence the name). Futuristic building and well-made exhibitions. The top floor is a café with great view. The temporarily exhibition is huge and has various interesting topics while the permanent exhibition is not very different from most natural history museums elsewhere.

Wonderful place to spend an afternoon in Lyon. Went in a rainy day and it was perfect. Well curated exhibits in French and English and the temporary exhibits during my visit were awesome. If you have the Lyon City Card, you're admission is included including the temporary exhibits. Don't miss out on the great views from the cafe.

A very nice building, great view of the confluence.
