Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, Art museum in 1st arrondissement, France
The Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon occupies a former Benedictine convent near Place des Terreaux, displaying collections from ancient Egyptian antiquities to modern art.
The museum buildings belonged to the Royal Abbey of Saint-Pierre-les-Nonnains until 1792, with Louis XIV adding a baroque refectory and monumental honor-staircase.
The galleries contain sections for paintings, sculptures, antiquities, coins, medals, and graphic arts from various European artists across different periods.
The museum operates from Wednesday to Monday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with extended hours on Fridays starting at 10:30 AM.
From September 2024 to January 2025, the museum will present 'Les voix des fleuves, Crossing the water' during the 17th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art.
