Musee Des Confluences

About

The Musée des Confluences, located in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, is a cutting‑edge science and anthropology museum that opened in December 2014. Its striking deconstructivist architecture—a glass‑and‑steel crystal canopy—frames a permanent core of four thematic exhibitions (“Origins”, “Species”, “Societies”, “Eternities”) that trace the human story from the Big Bang to the present day. Visitors can explore interactive galleries, participate in guided tours, and experience rotating temporary shows such as “Zombis, aux origines” or “Amazonies”. The museum also hosts conferences, concerts, and family‑friendly activities, making it a cultural hub for all ages.
