"The museum's architecture is awe-inspiring, with glass, concrete, and stainless steel rising proudly at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers. It's the perfect home for a museum that blends scientific, technical, and societal knowledge, offering a gateway to the world and endless discoveries.
This Science & anthropology museum is renowned for its striking and futuristic architecture - it was designed by the Austrian architectural firm Coop Himmelb(l)au, the building features a distinctive steel and glass structure that stands out as a landmark at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers.
It offers breathtaking views from the rooftop as well as the cafe.

"The Musée des Confluences, a magnificent new museum both architecturally and in its content, which sets off to explain, well, the history of everything…or so it seems. Do not miss this stunning experience, but do allow a good few hours, including on-site lunch, to get the best from the experience. This huge square, all 62,000 square metres of it, is quite magnificent.
Located at the very tip of Lyon’s Presqu’Île district, where, as the name suggests, the Saône and the Rhône meet, the Musée des Confluences received more than 150,000 visitors in the first few weeks of 2015, having opened just before Christmas.
They have two temporary exhibits right now: Secrets from the Earth & Magic"

"I cannot speak highly enough about this incredible building the art and the exhibitions, what a great fixture in the Lyon arts and culture world. I think we spend 2-3 hours wondering about the visiting exhibition (photography with a story) bar and cafe also on site, this area of the city is new and has some growing to do."
