Overview

Situated in the district of the Etats Unis, this museum presents a new concept since it takes the town as its central theme. The Musée Urbain Tony Garnier takes its name from a famous Lyon architect who has contributed a great deal to the construction of the town in general and of this district in particular. This museum presents his work and his urban ideal. The museum is also a tribute to the district built by Tony Garnier into which he moved, thanks to the reconstruction of an apartment typical of the thirties including period furniture donated by the tenants. Do not miss the 24 frescoes, a real feature of the museum, representing life in Lyon. This museum will give visitors a greater insight into the town of Lyon and especially this rather unique district. Hours are seasonal check website for more details.
