There are 2 parts in this museum: 1. History of Lyon; 2. Puppets.

Musée intéressant avec une collection variée contenant des pièces de qualité et retraçant bien l'histoire de Lyon. On regrettera la complexité de son parcours (dû au lieu très particulier) et le côté trop classique (peu de vidéos, peu de ludicité, peu de scénographie etc) de l'ensemble. A noter, le Musée des marionnettes abrite de très belles pièces mais manque un peu de diversité, surtout sur les marionnettes étrangères. Un beau musée un brin classique.

1. History of Lyon. Guided group tour was pretty dry and boring. Nothing much to see in the museum.
2. The puppet area was kinda scary actually.

Overall, not a very pleasant experience.

Located right in the middle of Vieux Lyon. Has got 30 rooms and each room stacked with a lot of articles from medieval collections to Renaissance. Prepare to spend an hour or more

A place you have to visit for the collection and for the building itself. A 16th century building in the historic center of lyon.

I participated in the temporary museum Divinement Foot. Excellent museum in a mideaval setting. Has also themes on puppets christianity among others. In the Vieux Lyon district. A must see.

Very rich collection of Lyon's history, presented perfectly in this typical old building!

Excellent exposition of the history of Lyon, with a bonus museum of the history of puppetry, in Lyon and beyond. We allocated two hours and used it all.

Extensive audio guide for the city history part, covering 30 rooms and those rooms are organized enough as well as interesting enough. Very educative. Puppets' museum is sooo frenchy. Love it.

No English translation. It was like a maze & when I got separated from my wife she panicked as I tried find my way.

Interesting collection, but as the photos show the highlight of the museum is actually it's rooftop cafe and terrace, which are extremely cozy and especially lovely in the spring and summer.
