Impressed the displayed items.

Depending on your age the museum is expensive or not. I'm under 26 so I payed 4 euros, which is really good for a museum. The normal fare is 8 euros, which I consider expensive for the size of the museum.

This is a medium-size museum. It has different types of arts for different tastes, it has a nice selection of sculptures, an Egyptian exhibit with cool and interesting things. It also has a Greek exhibit, not that big. The last level is of paintings, it is quite good.
There's an inner patio, quite beautiful that's accessible to everyone, do not need to pay to get in there.

Loads of magnificent silk pieces (as well as other fabrics) and history.

2 Museums: Textile and decor, nice , a couple of floors and good collection, little bit repetitive in the decor section but still worth a visit, not too pricey. Allow 1.5 hours for both museums, prepare for tons of stairs

Great collection. The information is all in French, though, which I could have handled except that the text is also quite small, and the lighting fairly dim.

A nice museum! I really enjoyed the focus on the Lyon silks in the Musée des Tissus. The Napoleonic-Era clothes were very interesting, and the temporary exhibits were fascinating and impressively-curated. The history behind everything was well-documented and accessible. The Decorative Arts were really interesting too, though I found the crowded arrangement of each room a little overwhelming and things were not clearly labeled.
I would recommend this museum to people who are curious about the fabric history of France and Lyon. If you're short on time and are not interested in textiles or the process and the products, I would suggest checking out some of Lyon's other museums first. That said, I've been to many museums in Lyon... if you know what to expect and have the time to come by, you certainly won't lose anything from the experience. A fascinating, unique museum experience. Again, really enjoyed the temporary exhibit.

Amazing textiles, very inspiring pieces. Only downside is that the info is only in French... Good scarf selection in the gift shop!

Fascinating! This is basically two museums, one of the textiles and one is a tour of home decor from the 16-19th century. It was amazing to see the portraits created on looms, there were two that looked like ink prints but we're in fact made on a loom. They start with the history of the loom products and end with really interesting new advanced with fabrics - best resistance, airbags, etc. Unfortunately the information was only in French so as a non-French speaking tourist I didn't get as much out if it. The second building is set up as the house would have been in the 1800s and back with lovely furniture and fixtures. There is also some modern silverware.
