This is a great, manageable art museum and very quite when we went (mid-day, mid-week). Unfortunately the sculpture garden was closed but otherwise a good experience.

Visit every couple of years and always find it interesting to go though art and culture from the ancient Egyptians to recent history. A little bit of every type of art.

Good museum. A walking tour of Dijon took us here. The permanent collection is free and we went to see the Tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy. Fascinating. We had to walk much of the museum to get there and deeply regretted not having the time to study the collection.

Great museum with a lot of Egyptian, Greek, roman and a lot more. 9 euro for adults, 5 for 18-25 so it is affordable. They do close some exhibits during lunch so check on hours prior to your visit.

Great Museum!! The paintings and sculpture section was good. There is a cafe and a bookshop inside. Outside there is a garden with few statues, its a nice place to sit and read during summers and autumn. The chocolat viennois in the cafe is a must try, so creamy and rich. Must visit if you come to Lyon.

Thought this was okay. Priced reasonably for what they have to offer. It was a bit confusing to navigate the recommended route through the building. Building itself is quite nice, and the collection I found the most interesting was the room with the different coins.

Stunning place I had a great visit, the pieces presented don’t have much space restriction so you can look the sculptures and painting really close! They give you a map and the rooms are numbered so you don’t get lost and it makes sure that you’ll see everything After entering, before getting into the museum itself there’s a cute little garden thing that’s is pretty atmospheric and relaxing with some sculptures sprinkled on it :)
